On September 22, 2023, LGS OPF proudly hosted the inaugural TedxLGS OPF Girls Youth event. Themed ‘Venturing Beyond Convention,’ the event featured four remarkable speakers and one exceptional performer, all challenging stereotypes in their own ways.
The speakers included Khansa Maria, a disability rights advocate; Zareen Arif Aijaz, founder of the Jahanara Memorial Trust for cancer patients; Dr. Riaz ur Rehman, creator of Pakistan’s first and only palliative care center; and Fatima Razzaq, an award-winning investigative journalist. The performer was Adnan Jahangir, a renowned Kathak exponent and choreographer, representing Pakistan worldwide.
Their collective stories and achievements serve as motivation, proving that with determination and the courage to challenge the status quo, one can truly venture beyond convention and make a lasting impact on the world.
