Department of Media and Development Communication invites everyone to be part of Earth Hour on Saturday, March 28, 2026, at 8:30 PM. For one powerful hour, let’s switch off our lights and stand united for our planet.

Earth Hour is more than just turning off electricity; it’s a global movement reminding us that small actions can spark big changes. By participating, we show our commitment to conserving energy, protecting the environment, and building a sustainable future.

How you can take part:

1. Turn off non-essential lights and devices for one hour.

Together, let’s shine a light on climate action by embracing the darkness for one hour.

While we live in the age of AI and space exploration, Dr. Ayesha Ashfaq (Chairperson, MDC) reminds us that the fight for basic human rights and gender equality remains our most critical challenge.
Dr. Ashfaq emphasizes that true empowerment starts at home. By sensitizing both men and women and embracing the "He for She" philosophy, we pave the way for women to achieve full financial independence and economic success.

Women should not be judged by their appearance, as their true value lies in their character, abilities, and contributions. Focusing only on looks ignores their intelligence, strength, and achievements. A fair society respects women for who they are and what they do, not how they look.
– Dr. Shazia Ismael Toor, Assistant Professor, MDC
