Today, on International Human Rights Day, we reflect on how technology can be a powerful enabler of human rights. From breaking global barriers for millions through access to education, amplifying voices that might otherwise go unheard through social media, or progressing accountability via digital reporting tools, technology is rapidly shaping the next wave of Global Human Rights. PSEB reaffirms its responsibility to promote a digital future that respects human dignity. By supporting innovation, transparency, and global collaboration, we aim to ensure that Pakistan’s tech industry becomes a force for good, advancing human rights while driving digital growth. Together, we can ensure that innovation respects human dignity and builds a digital future that is inclusive, safe, and empowering for all.

Maria Umar- Championing Digital Empowerment for Women in Pakistan Maria Umar is a prominent Pakistani social entrepreneur and a leading figure in digital empowerment and gender inclusion within the global tech industry. More than a decade ago, Maria saw a gap: talented women across Pakistan were eager to work, but social and geographic barriers kept them out of the workforce. In 2009, she founded the Women’s Digital League (WDL), an online platform that provides training and remote work opportunities, giving women the tools to earn, learn, and thrive in the digital economy. Her turning point came with the Project Artemis/Goldman Sachs 10,000 Women Program, where she was mentored by leading business professors and Silicon Valley talent. That experience gave her the confidence to scale WDL into a platform recognised globally. Soon after, reaching the finale of GIST’s “I Dare” business plan competition and being profiled by Google Pakistan as a tech innovator further validated her vision. Maria’s leadership has earned her recognition as a Thought Leader by Ashoka Changemakers, with WDL winning the Early Stage Award in the “Women Powering Work” competition. Under her guidance, WDL secured the KP Digital Literacy training program funded by the World Bank and forged official partnerships with UpWork and Facebook to advance women’s economic empowerment. Her story has been featured in Mashable, Forbes, Virgin, Ashoka, Dawn, and she was highlighted by CNBC as a Changemaker, proof that her work resonates far beyond Pakistan. But Maria’s mission goes deeper than freelancing opportunities. She is actively encouraging girls to pursue STEM education through initiatives like the Technovation Challenge, ensuring that the next generation of women doesn’t just join the digital workforce, they lead it. From grassroots training programs to global recognition, Maria Umar has shown that technology can rewrite the narrative for women in Pakistan. Her journey is one of persistence, innovation, and inclusion, proving that when women are given access to digital tools, they don’t just change their own lives, they change the future of work itself.
