In 2015, Pakistan committed to various UN Sustainable Development Goals (SGD) of which UN SDG 5 aims to "achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls by 2030". To date, Pakistan's Energy Sector remains one of the least gender diverse sectors and women face structural and cultural challenges in professional growth and success. There's a paucity of female CxOs in the Energy Sector, making Ms. Khan's appointment at KE a significant one. Having female leadership at KE is a Diversity & Inclusion milestone for the organization as well, resonating the EachForEqual International Women's Day (IWD) agenda for 2020 which is about collective individualism to create a more gender equal world and workforce.-PR
