Punjab Province should set minimum legal age of marriage for girls to 18 years. If Balochistan, ICT, Sindh & Muslim countries Algeria, Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Libya, Iraq, Morocco, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Syria and UAE have 18, why not us ? @MaryamNSharif facebook.com/share/17eU55yw…

@Shiffa_ZY @Scoonorg Great work Shiffa. You are a true humanitarian.

Had the opportunity to attend and speak at a fundraising event in Paris organized for @Scoonorg, a norwegian organisation set up by a Norwegian/Pakistani … Grateful to Mr. Shahid Jamil for considering me worthy of adding my voice to his mission of serving humanity. In Pakistan, we remain remarkably committed to superficial actions while meaningful initiatives mysteriously stay off our national agenda. We can call a person with disabilities “disabled” or “differently abled”, but before debating terminology, perhaps we should first ask ourselves a more basic question: do we even consider them persons in the first place? Other countries like Norway and France treat them as dignified citizens; we, on the other hand, have yet to even accept them, let alone make genuine efforts for them. Mr. Shahid Jamil is tirelessly working to provide wheelchairs to them, but let’s be honest: can @shahid55jamil ’s efforts alone make it possible for a person on a wheelchair to wheel him/herself into a minister’s office, unaccompanied, to get their work done? Of course not. Not in the Pakistan we’ve designed. We need a mindset shift. Accept that they are marginalized and deprived, so that the desire to build a truly conducive environment for them can finally take root. And our media should also step up, regular, meaningful programming on all forms of disability is needed. Celebrating December 3rd once a year doesn’t quite absolve us of responsibility. @NorwayinPak

Thanks @unwomen_pak and @christinearab for consulting with women rights leaders in Pakistan and for your continued advocacy for women's rights.

@NadraPak NADRA messages should say (Bachay aur BACHI ka Bay farm). NADRA must mention GIRLS also. Many rural parents register birth of boys but do not register girls birth and do not add girls in Form B to avoid giving family inheritance to girls. @NadraPak @bisp_pakistan @PernilleUNICEF

ہر بچے کا الگ ب فارم | مقررہ میعاد اور تصویر کے ساتھ پہلے ب فارم کی میعاد بچے کی عمر تین سال ہونے تک ہے جس میں تصویر نہیں ہو گی۔ دس سال تک کے بچوں کا تصویر والا ب فارم بنے گا اور بچے کی عمر دس سال سے زیادہ ہونے پر ب فارم دوبارہ بنے گا جو اٹھارہ سال عمر ہونے تک موثر رہے گا

@hinaparvezbutt Madam Hina, we appreciate your efforts to protect girls & women in Punjab. A court registrar has married a 16 year old girl in Chakwal city on 1/12/2025 without her CNIC & her parents did not know. Please hold that registrar accountable @MaryamNSharif @GirlsNotBrides @nishatriaz

میں نے اللہ کو جواب دینا ہے، میں جب اللہ کو جوابدہ ہونا تو پھر مظلوم بچی کو انصاف دینا ہمارا فرض بن جاتا ہے، جب میں کسی مظلوم بچی اور اس کے والدین سے ملنے جاتی ہوں تو ان کی آنکھوں میں آنسو دیکھ کر میری آنکھوں میں آنسو آ جاتے ہیں ، ایسی صورت میں آپ انہیں انصاف فراہم کیے بغیر نہیں رہ سکتے
