PWiC 2019 — Thank you
Thank you community, volunteers, partners and sponsors
Pakistani Women in Computing (PWiC) is a global community of women in technology fields hailing from Pakistan and their global allies with the aim of collaborating, empowering, inspiring, celebrating, mentoring and creating opportunities for each other.
PWiC was initiated as a Facebook community in 2015, but it was not until 2018 that it got transformed into a global initiative. Within one year, PWiC has gained high momentum and organic growth. From local chapters to global programs, 2019 has seen tremendous success in providing growth and learning opportunities and empowering women around the globe.
On behalf of Pakistani Women in Computing, the board and the management team would like to offer their deepest gratitude for all the support shown this past year to everyone who partnered, collaborated, offered venues and provided services.

Lets connect, learn and grow together!
