The event includes activities designed for families, with dedicated play areas for children.<\/p>\n<p>The overall design indicates an emphasis on providing space for women entrepreneurs while maintaining a family friendly environment. The event is open to pets as well. Attendees are encouraged to bring their animals on leashes, granted that they can take responsibility for them.<\/p>\n<p>The name &#8216;Karachi Women Festival&#8217; reflects the festival&#8217;s focus on women centred enterprise and participation.
