English: Pakistan’s first female diplomat after women were permitted to join the foreign service in 1973, Ambassador Fauzia Nasreen was posted to embassies around the world, including in Iran, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Italy. As a pioneer, she was acutely conscious that how she handled the challenges – such as traveling alone over dangerous roads as a young woman during the Iran-Iraq war – would affect the future for all those who followed in her footsteps. She rose to become Ambassador to Nepal, Poland, and the Czech Republic. Since retiring from diplomatic service, Ambassador Nasreen has been teaching the next generation at universities throughout Pakistan.
