Ms. Farzana Yaqub, former Minister AJK, highlighted the Konan-Poshpura rape incident which is one instance of rape being used as a tactic by India. She reiterated that AJK and Pakistan will continue to speak Kashmiri women in IIOJK because it is a responsibility not a burden.

Ms. Fajer Rabia Pasha has appreciated the resilience of Kashmiri women despite their continuous objectification and ever increasing oppression by Indian authorities.
Mr. Zaman Bajwa, Executive Director YFK, highlighted the need for Pakistani digital content to propagate the reality of the people of IIOJK especially the sufferings of women which are largely ignored by the media.
Dr. Huma from SZABIST and Dr. Wajid, HOD Media Studies, articulated that Kashmiri women are facing a double burden of bread winner and caretaker in the absence of their male members of the family.
