Zainab Alert bill

Minister Mazari highlights achievements including Zainab Alert Bill

Now that both Houses of parliament have cleared the bill it will inspire public confidence

Zainab's father says missing children are a major issue in every city, district and village

Maximum sentence to perpetrators of child sexual abuse will be life imprisonment with a fine of Rs1 million

It has shortcomings that are likely to render it ineffective and toothless

People had much expectation from the proposed bill with regard to curbing the rising trend of child sexual abuse

The document will pave the way for setting up Zainab Alert, Response and Recovery Agency (ZARRA)

Also opposes ‘Zara’ an authority published under the bill
