KARACHI: Zong has announced to support Pakistani athlete Rabia Ashiq who would be running in the 800-meter competition in the London Olympics scheduled for August 8.
Zong under the umbrella of Flutter, its special initiative for women has decided to support
Ashiq, who was selected to participate in the event through wildcard.
“Realizing that women are an underrepresented segment of our society, Zong also recently launched a special initiative for women called Flutter, this deal is designed while keeping in mind the fact that women have different requirements as compared to men and these needs have to be addressed differently,” said Zong Executive Director Commercial, Usman Ishaq.
Rabia Ashiq had to face opposition from her family at first but the passion drove her to
continue taking part in sports at school and college level.
"Rabia is an epitome of courage and an excellent example for the world to see that with
minimal resources, there can still be success stories of women who are willing to dream,
even if the society is not ready to support, a person can change everyone's perception
through their consistent efforts,” Ishaq said.
Zong has decided to sponsor the athlete for her participation in the mega-event.
