RAWALPINDI, Pakistan: The Punjab government has organized a three-day Seminar on the “Socio-Economic Empowerment of Dukhtaraan-e-Pakistan: Vision of Government of Pakistan 2020” at Fatima Jinnah Women University (FJWU) in Rawalpindi.

On the second day of the Seminar being held from February 17 to 19, the Regional Police Officer (RPO) Sohail Habib Tajik as the Guest of Honor expressed his views about the gender gap and women’s involvement in Pakistani society.

The RPO said that women’s financial empowerment is crucial for closing the gender gap. Gender equality is a prerequisite for building an inclusive, progressive, peaceful society. The gender parity at educational, economic, political and representative fronts makes prosperity and change inevitable. In addition, the state should strive to eliminate all forms of discrimination and violence against women. Most importantly, the government should work round the clock to empower women through education so that they can be an active economic source in the realm of socio-political development of Pakistan.

The Chief Guest of the event was Mrs. Farah Agha (MPA), and in her address, she stressed that women can play an important role in making society a better place. Women are no lesser than men, she makes the family strong enough to work and build a society. We have to give women equal opportunities like men.
