KARACHI, Jan 04 (APP):The launching ceremony of the book “Treemat Katha”, authored by Dr Sadia Kamal, was held at the Karachi Press Club on Sunday.
Treemat Katha, which narrates the stories of women, is a unique literary work highlighting the social, professional and educational challenges faced by women in society.
