News Desk

Islamabad: Sabahat Rahim Baig, an exceptional young talent hailing from the picturesque Chitral, has made her mark on the international stage by receiving the prestigious ‘Best Negotiator Award’ while representing Pakistan as part of the Youth delegation.

In an event attended by representatives from 50 countries, Sabahat’s achievement shines brightly, as she was the sole female delegate participating in person.

Sabahat’s journey is an inspiring tale of breaking barriers and proving that one’s abilities are not constrained by gender or outward appearances. As a devout daughter of renowned journalist, writer, and poet, Mohammad Rahim Baig Khaksar, Sabahat attributes much of her success to the unwavering support of her parents.

They never opposed her aspirations but rather encouraged her at every step of her journey, allowing her to excel on the global stage.

Sabahat passionately highlights the untapped potential of the young female population in Chitral, especially at the college and university levels. Despite their immense capabilities, limited opportunities, economic challenges, and a lack of awareness often hinder their progress. Sabahat believes it is crucial to create an environment that supports and empowers individuals, particularly females, in underprivileged areas to foster their skills and talents.

After her return from Turkiye, where she represented Pakistan at the international conference, Sabahat Rahim sees her accomplishment as a lesson and an honor for all women and daughters of Chitral.

Not only did she participate in the Youth Impact National Conference in Turkiye, but she also earned the distinction of being awarded the ‘Best Negotiator’ for her comprehensive speech and roadmap on the topic of Women’s Rights Advocacy and Empowerment. She was among 85 delegates from 50 countries, making her achievement all the more significant.

Sabahat’s vision extends beyond her personal success. She recognizes that despite efforts to promote women’s empowerment in Pakistan, many women are still unaware of their rights. To address this issue, she has set her sights on creating a platform that will provide women with essential information about their rights, access to valuable opportunities, and national and international scholarships for talented students.

This platform aims to level the playing field, offering equal opportunities to the talented young women of Chitral. Sabahat envisions it as a catalyst for positive change within the district, where these young women can contribute to its overall development and play a significant role in advancing society.

In the face of adversity, Sabahat Rahim Baig’s journey stands as a testament to the limitless potential that resides in every individual, regardless of their background or gender. Her commitment to empowering women and promoting their rights is not just a personal mission but a beacon of hope for the future of Chitral and beyond.
