Jazbah (Jäzbäh) is an Urdu word which means dedication or passion for a cause. This site is devoted to all those Pakistani women who have worked hard to achieve great goals and made significant, positive impacts in their societies.
The purpose of this Web site is to honor the achievements of Pakistani women. We will add to the list of profiles periodically by introducing different Pakistani women achievers. They have inspired us with their determination and delighted us with their talents. As Pakistanis and as members of the greater world community striving for peace, we must acknowledge that an educated and successful woman can be a pillar of strength not only for her country but for the rest of the world.
As always, we welcome constructive criticism and positive feedback. Thank you for visiting Jazbah.org!
