More initiatives for girls’ education, womens’ rights part of commitment: Bilawal

KARACHI  –  Chairman of the Pakistan Peoples Par­ty (PPP), Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, said in his message on the International Day of the Girl Child that Pakistan’s daughters are blessed with bound­less talent, courage, and dreams. He said the historic political journey of Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto is shining proof that when women are provided with equal opportunity to move forward, they can not only change their own lives but alter the course of a nation’s history.

PPP Chairman said empowering girls is essential to building a strong, prosperous and just society. The state, families, educational institutions and society as a whole must work togeth­er to create an environment where a daughter is seen not as a burden, but as a symbol of hope and a bright fu­ture. Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that, guided by the democratic and egali­tarian vision of Quaid-e-Awam Sha­heed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto, the PPP has taken numerous steps for the wel­fare of women in the country.

He said programs such as the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP), Waseela-e-Taleem and educa­tion scholarships are aimed at sup­porting deserving families and en­couraging children’s education.

Various initiatives in the province of Sindh for girls’ education, women’s rights and social protection are part of the same commitment: that pover­ty should never stand in the way of a girl’s future. Bilawal said his vision is a Pakistan where every girl has access to education, healthcare and protection, safety from violence and exploitation, and equal opportunities to realize her potential. He concluded that investing in girls’ education and well-being is, in truth, an investment in the bright fu­ture of Pakistan’s coming generations.
