SLANG LANGUAGE AND YOUTH
With all due respect through your newspaper, I want to bring the attention of people to an important topic how youth uses slang language and thinks that it makes them look cool but instead they appear as illiterate to mature personalities. As we know that there are many slang words used by youth that they probably have learned from social media, and many different series and movies of different genres produced all over the world. As we know there are many slangs that are normalized in western culture but are not acceptable in Pakistani community nor do these words are reflecting precious moral values of our society. Still youth uses these words in their normal conversation with their friends and others, instead of doing something morally valuable which might build their personality in a good way. Although in our society using western slang words has become a common thing but it still is wrong and unacceptable. Parents should really control the content to which their children should be exposed to and children should also have knowledge about what is wrong and what is right.

EMPOWERING WOMEN THROUGH ENHANCED ACCESS TO EDUCATION IN PAKISTAN
I am writing to shed light on an issue of paramount importance that continues to impede progress and social development in Pakistan: the limited access to education for women. Education is the cornerstone of societal growth, and ensuring equal educational opportunities for both genders is essential for the advancement of any nation. While Pakistan has made strides in improving overall literacy rates in recent years, a significant gender disparity still persists. Women in Pakistan face multiple barriers that hinder their access to education, including cultural norms, economic limitations, and inadequate infrastructure. These barriers not only deprive women of their fundamental right to education but also perpetuate cycles of poverty and inequality. Cultural norms and gender biases often restrict women's mobility and participation in public life, including attending schools and universities. Early marriages and domestic responsibilities are common reasons that force many girls to drop out of school prematurely. There is a need for comprehensive societal change through awareness campaigns, community engagement, and policy initiatives that promote gender equality and emphasize the importance of education for girls. To address these challenges, a multi-faceted approach is required. Governments, non-governmental organizations, and communities must collaborate to eliminate gender biases, create economic incentives, and develop necessary infrastructure. Educational curricula should also promote gender equality and women's empowerment, fostering a generation of students who recognize the importance of equal opportunities for all. In conclusion, improving access to education for women in Pakistan is not only a matter of social justice but a crucial step towards the nation's progress.
