Mushaal stresses empowering women

Special Assistant to the Prime Minister for Human Rights and Women Empowerment, Mushaal Hussein Mullick Wednesday underscored the indispensable role women play in society through their significant contributions to the social, economic, and cultural spheres globally.

She was addressing the “Women Day Celebration” organized by Pak Gulf Construction Pvt Ltd in connection with International Women’s Day which is observed on March 8 every year.

The event honoured the achievements and resilience of women worldwide and served as a platform to reflect on the progress made towards gender equality in Pakistan and the challenges that still lie ahead.

The SAPM stressed the importance of empowering women for the establishment of inclusive and equitable societies. She emphasized the imperative of investing in women’s education, healthcare, and overall well-being.

Mushaal said people, particularly women, in the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) were enduring the worst human rights violations inflicted by the Indian occupation forces.

She stressed that amidst oppression, women in IIOJK had assumed prominent roles in the Kashmiri freedom struggle.

She underscored the resilience and determination of Kashmiri women, suggesting that in the face of adversities, women globally could draw inspiration from their unwavering spirit.
