Pakistan has called on the international community to act quickly to guarantee that women and girls everywhere are free from violence and poverty and have an equal chance to participate in inclusive development.
Speaking to the UN General Assembly in New York on the 30th anniversary of the Fourth World Conference on Women, Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar said Monday that the event was a call to boldly and quantifiably renew the historic commitments made in Beijing thirty years ago.
Dar emphasized Pakistan’s advancements in gender equality, noting that women are in high positions in the armed forces, civil service, judiciary, politics, and law enforcement.
