Join Dr. Tariq Bajwa and Aneeq Ur Rehman for Wednesday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing “Girls’ rights” and “Social care”

Girls’ rights

Despite increased attention to girls' issues in the last decade, investments in girls' rights remain limited. Girls around the world continue to face unprecedented challenges to their education, their physical and mental wellness, and the protections needed for a life without violence. Join us LIVE as we discuss the need to protect the rights of girls in aim of creating a better future.

Social care

In an era where compassion should be the bedrock of our society, we will explore the harsh realities of declining standards in care homes. Discussing why a long- overdue pay rise for our dedicated caregivers is not just fair but essential, as respect should be synonymous with their tireless work. Increased funding can transform the sector and create jobs, bolstering our economy. Tune in to find out why it's time to turn the page on neglect and pen a new chapter of compassion, one where memorable sentences become powerful actions.
