He expressed these views while speaking to a delegation of women belonging to the Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) at Governor House Quetta, according to a press release on Tuesday.

“It was clear that only an economically independent woman could bring about a revolutionary change in society,” Governor Agha said.

He described the women of Balochistan as much talented and sociable as women of other provinces, adding that unfortunately not enough opportunities have been provided to women in the province and therefore they are behind in the race of progress.

While mentioning the problems and difficulties of women in Balochistan, the governor said the women in the province were suffering from several problems and difficulties.

All members of the society should play their full role in giving women their right to inheritance and ensuring their dignified place in all spheres, he concluded.
