The United Nations Women Pakistan has honoured a crew member of Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), Touheed Daudpota, for showing “gender sensitivity&#
8221; during a flight. “Mr Touheed Daudpota, crew of #PIA, whose photos of soothing a baby went viral, was declared by UN Women Pakistan the #HeforShe champion for displaying empathy, gender sensitivity, respect and care to a women passenger, upholding long traditions of great people to fly with,&#
8221; tweeted PIA along with a video o
f the crew member receiving the award. Last week, a photo of a PIA steward calming an agitated baby during a flight went viral on the internet. The national flag carrier has been in the news in the recent past mostly for all the wron
g reasons, ranging from financial woe
s to mismanagement and fake pilot licenses. However, a few days ago, singer Fakhr-e-Alam shared a picture that renewed Pakistanis’ hopes in the revival o
f the once great airline. Alam shared a photo o
f the head purser on an Islamabad-Karachi flight c
radling a baby in his arms.
