Wilmington Rotary’s Pakistan Project is all about creating relationships and nurturing and maintaining them here in Delaware and in Pakistan. In recognition of the importance of Women’s Rights and Human Rights in Pakistan and with the expressed objective of reaching out to the Greater Delaware Community, the Pakistan Project invited 11 NGO’s to join forces with Wilmington Rotary to co-sponsor a luncheon on May 19 in the Gold Ballroom of the Hotel duPont in honor of Bushra Aitzaz, an internationally recognized activist direct from Lahore, Pakistan. Those organizations were the Delaware chapters of the American Association of University Women, the American Civil Liberties Union, Circle of Hands, Girl Scouts of Chesapeake Bay, the International Women’s Forum, League of Women Voters, National Coalition of 100 Black Women, The Links, Incorporated, Wilmington Women in Business, World Trade Center, and YWCA plus the representative of Delaware Governor Jack Markell in the person of Dawn Hopkins, Director of the Governor’s Office of Constituent Relations. An audience of 230 from five states gave Bushra Aitzaz a standing ovation following her address on “Pakistan and Women’s Rights”. Bushra Aitzaz’s extraordinary speech is available by contacting Pakistan Project Chairman Kathleen Meyer at PRC47@hotmail.com
