The Spokesperson said that women constitute majority of the Kashmiri people suffering from psychiatric problems that are widespread in the climate of oppression and fear.

Over two dozen women leaders and activists including Asia Andrabi, remain incarcerated in different jails of IIOJK and New Delhi, he said.

Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said that women across the globe should take cognizance of their Kashmiri sisters’ plight and urge India to protect women’s rights in IIOJK.

“We will also continue to extend political, diplomatic and moral support to our Kashmiri brothers and sisters for the just and peaceful settlement of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute in accordance with the UN Security Council Resolutions,” the Spokesperson said.
