Female Bike Riding Club

• Empowering Women Through Mobility and Self-Defense: Bint e Ahan, Pakistan’s first female bike-riding club, combines self-defense training and mobility to empower women, having already trained over 2,000 women with a vision to reach one million.
• Shark Tank Pakistan Appearance: Seeking PKR 2 crores for an 8% equity stake, they highlighted barriers faced by women, including safety and transportation, to a national audience, though they did not secure funding.
• Driving Awareness and Change: Despite setbacks, their appearance amplified their mission, inspiring women to embrace independence and redefining societal norms to foster a more inclusive future.

Bint e Ahan, which claims to be Pakistan’s first female bike riding club incorporating self-defense training, recently made an appearance on Shark Tank Pakistan.

The club sought PKR 2 crores in funding for an 8% equity stake, presenting their mission to a panel of investors and a national audience.

During their pitch, Hafa Omer, representing Bint e Ahan, highlighted a crucial issue: while women constitute 52% of Pakistan’s population, their representation in workplaces, parliament, and leadership roles remains minimal.

She stressed the barriers women face when stepping outside their homes, with families often worried about two critical aspects—safety and reliable transportation.

A Mission to Empower Women

Bint e Ahan aims to address these challenges by empowering women through mobility and self-defense. The club has already trained and supported over 2,000 women, helping them gain independence and confidence. With a long-term vision, the organization aspires to scale its operations and train one million women across Pakistan.
