Mohtarma Fatima Jinnah’s legacy is truly unparalleled – standing strong in the fight for freedom, she made innumerable contributions towards the creation of Pakistan. Referred to as the Mother of the Nation for her role in the Freedom Movement, she is remembered for her passionate support for civil rights. Mohtarma Fatima Jinnah worked towards making the women of Pakistan financially independent because she believed men and women should both work side by side for their own and the country’s prosperity. During the transfer of power in 1947, Mohtarma Fatima Jinnah formed the Women’s Relief Committee, which later formed the nucleus for All Pakistan Women’s Association (APWA) founded by Begum Ra’ana Liaquat Ali Khan. Mohtarma Fatima Jinnah also played a significant role in the settlement of migrants in the new state of Pakistan.

Celebrating Pakistan’s 75th Independence Day, FWBL pays tribute to historic women icons whose legacies are strongly interwoven in the fabric of the nation’s heritage. Their remarkable achievements, in their own unique way, contribute to who we are as a nation today.
