Celebrating the Spirit of “Aao Bicycle Chalaen”

On October 11, 2019, coinciding with the International Day of the Girl Child, PSTD and Lyari’s Girls Café joined hands for the “Aao Bicycle Chalaen” event. This empowering initiative encouraged young girls to embrace the freedom and confidence that comes with cycling, both literally and figuratively.

As they pedaled their way through the streets, they challenged stereotypes and paved the way for a brighter future, where every girl has the opportunity to reach her full potential.
