PODCAST: Fariha Aftab - Pioneering Female Motoring Journalist Transforming Pakistan's Car Scene

Join us in this inspiring video podcast as we chat with Pakistan's first female professional motoring journalist, Fariha Aftab, a trailblazer who is redefining the automotive industry in a traditionally patriarchal society. Defying societal norms, from her academic pursuit in automotive engineering to becoming a car reviewer at Pakwheels, her journey is a testament to determination and passion. We explore Fariha's inspiring story, from her initial fascination with transport and mechanical engineering to her influential role in the automotive industry. She candidly discusses the challenges and triumphs of navigating a male-dominated field, how she came to become a juror with Women's World Car of the Year Awards (WWCOTY), and her impact on empowering young girls and women in Pakistan to choose careers in automotive and journalism. We learn about Fariha's contributions to changing perceptions around women in motoring, her blog channel, and her insights into the evolving roles of women in cars and bikes, both locally and globally. This podcast is not just about cars; it's about breaking barriers, challenging stereotypes, and empowering a new generation.
