Experience in fields of concern to IUCN:As a Gender and environmental practitioner, I engage with different organizations, and individuals, at all levels. I have travelled to represent CEESP, and IUCN, in Asia and globally. Throughout my professional career, I have worked with different communities in Pakistan and Asia, interacted with NGOs in different countries, from communities to policy level, and learnt the importance of participatory processes. Through various IUCN events, I have understood how IUCN functions as a unique organization, which is led by its Members, managed by the Secretariat, engages the Commissions, and where government and civil society work uniquely together. I have come to deeply understand IUCN through participation in numerous IUCN meetings, through my active role on CEESP, and engagement with the Asia Regional Members Committee meetings, and the IUCN National Committee for Pakistan. I have a deep and extensive understanding of gender issues, women’s roles and their interaction with natural resources, and the need to promote gender equality and women’s empowerment in all areas of conservation and sustainable development policy and practice. As Chair of the CEESP Specialist Group on Gender, I have developed the Gender component within CEESP through its programme and mandate, in coordination with the IUCN Global Programme on Governance and Rights. It is this knowledge and leadership on social and environmental issues, which I will bring to work with IUCN Members in Asia and globally.
