MoHR in collaboration with UN Women Pakistan, the Human Rights Department, Government of Sindh, the Sindh Commission on the Status of Women and the Special Assistant to the Chief Minister Sindh on Human Rights, participated in a Special Session on Femicide to reaffirm the collective commitment to ending gender-related killings of women and girls.
The session concluded with a Joint Communiqué calling for stronger accountability, survivor-centred protection mechanisms, improved data collection systems, and coordinated efforts to address the root causes of violence against women and girls.
Participants emphasized that crimes committed in the name of so-called “honour” have no justification and that preventing such violence requires sustained action by government institutions, civil society, media, educators, religious leaders and communities.
