Pakistani Women in Computing
7 min readJan 24, 2022

Pakistani Women in Computing (PWiC) is a global community of women in technology fields and their allies hailing from Pakistan to empower, celebrate, mentor, and create opportunities for the community.

PWiC was initiated as a Facebook community in 2015, but it was not until 2018 that it was transformed into a global initiative. 2021 was our second operational year as a tax exempt (501c3) status. Despite all the hardships due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, 2021 has seen tremendous success for PWiC in providing growth, connection and learning opportunities to our global community.

On behalf of the PWiC board and Leadership team, we would like to thank each and every one of you for being part of our journey!

Special thanks to the 2021 PWiC Board, and Leadership team for making such an impact in 2021!
