What is Pinky Gul?
Pinky Gul is a women centric community space or what is now referred to as third spaces. Third spaces are locations where a community can exchange ideas, enjoy themselves and build relationships.
As Pakistanis, particularly women, are drifting further into social siloes, we at Pinky Gul are working towards providing a vital Third Space for women to connect, learn and grow.
What is the inspiration behind Pinky Gul?
Pinky Gul has been created and is run by Mishayl Naek, the force behind the online mother’s support group, the Yummy Mummy Network. With a background in Development Economics, she has worked on multiple social development projects in her educational and professional career.
In 2019 she started a female centric co-working office, but quickly realized women need much more than a working environment; they needed a safe community space.
So why is it called Pinky Gul? The name is inspired Mishayl’s parents, whose nicknames are Pinky (Farzhana Naek) and Gul (Farooq Naek).
Pinky Gul was very thoughtfully designed with Mundist Interior and Landscape Design Firm, run by Samia Khan. We loved working with this team and how passionate they were with this project. From end to end, Pinky Gul has worked with incredible women to ensure this woman centric space truly embodies our values of community and support.
