ISLAMABAD:

Police department was trying hard to provide help to women and children and other marginalised segments of society to ensure their protection and safety. For the purpose, capital police have set up ‘Special Gender Protection Unit’ to support women and children in distress.

Assistant Inspector General (AIG) (Establishment) Dr Naveed Atif was speaking at a seminar on women harassment organised by Sustainable Social Development Organization (SSDO) at the Police Lines Headquarters on Saturday.

Dr Asif was of the view that harassment of women at the workplace was a major issue which needed to be addressed. He asked the non-government organisations to come forward and help police to address this issue.
