NCHR stands for women’s rights to safety and protection in public spaces this #16DaysOfActivism2025 @UNDP_Pakistan @RabiyaJaveri #NCHR

The @nchrofficial, in partnership with #UNDPinPakistan and financed by @EUPakistan 🇪🇺, convened an end-of-term event to reflect on four years of impact — from strengthening protections for women, minorities, prisoners, and other marginalized groups to achieving A-status accreditation by @Ganhri1. Speaking at the event, UNDP RR Dr. @SamuelRizk commended NCHR for setting a high standard of transparency. “NCHR has shown that human rights work is not just an office to hold or a job to do — it is a conscientious commitment,” he said, while highlighting the importance of continuity to sustain the progress made over the past years. #HuqooqePakistanII #ImpactThroughCourage

“When an institution stands firmly on principle and courage, meaningful change becomes possible,” said Chairperson @RabiyaJaveri while presenting the Commission's four year journey and impact. “@nchrofficial rebuilt systems, strengthened oversight, and centered the experiences of people whose rights are too often overlooked. Today is not just a celebration of institutional progress, but of every survivor, every community, and every partner who trusted us with their stories. Their resilience has shaped the NCHR's journey.” #ImpactThroughCourage

"Manual cleaning of gutters is brutal and dehumanising. No person’s life should be put at risk for a task that should never require human hands in the first place "says Chairperson @RabiyaJaveri at 1st hearing of NCHR public interest litigation.

Women in Pakistan are being locked in “rehab” centres — not for treatment, but for refusing marriage or obedience. This is control, not care. Read @rabiyajaveri’s powerful piece in Dawn: dawn.com/news/1943065 #HumanRights #SilencingWomen

NCHR strongly condemns the brutal honour killing recently reported in Balochistan. Such acts are a grave violation of human rights and have no place in any society. Our team is actively investigating the incident and will pursue all avenues to ensure justice is served. #EndHonourKillings #HumanRightsPK #NCHR @RabiyaJaveri

The recent blocking of YouTube channels sets a troubling precedent for freedom of expression in Pakistan. NCHR underscores that discourse is not disloyalty. Digital censorship undermines Pakistan's democratic and constitutional rights. #DigitalRights #NCHR @RabiyaJaveri

On 26 June, the UN International Day in Support of Victims of Torture, NCHR reaffirms its commitment to end torture in Pakistan. On 25 June, NCHR, JPP & PCPS launch a training manual to close the gap between law and practice under the 2022 Anti-Torture Act. #EndTorture @RabiyaJaveri

A much-needed step to equip journalists with tools for rights-based, gender-sensitive reporting. Strengthening voices that can truly drive change.

Born into debt. Denied education. Invisible without ID. Many never chose it—they inherited it. We need action, not apathy. #EndChildLabour #BrickByBrick #WorldDayAgainstChildLabour

Millions of children in Pakistan are trapped in labour, denied education and robbed of their childhood. Every child deserves books not bricks #EndChildLabour

A true icon. @mir_sana05

Congratulations to @mir_sana05 on her induction into the @ICC hall of fame. The first Pakistani woman. Her legacy as a leader has inspired a generation of girls to dream big, dawn.com/news/amp/19161…

Women & girls must be safe, online, on our streets, and in our communities. Tech platforms, law enforcement & policymakers must come together to break this cycle of violence and create safer spaces for women. #JusticeForSanaYousaf
