KARACHI: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has underscored the importance of collective efforts to end all forms of violence against women. In a statement on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, he emphasised the need to empower women and safeguard their dignity and rights. Reaffirming the PPP’s dedication to gender equality and women’s empowerment, he called for a society free from fear, discrimination and violence. He expressed grave concern over the widespread prevalence of gender-based violence, urging immediate action to address its causes through comprehensive legislative, social and cultural reforms. “Violence against women is a gross violation of human rights and a major impediment to achieving a just and equitable society. We must commit ourselves to eliminating it from all aspects of life, be it at home, at the workplace or public spaces,” he said. Highlighting his party’s role in advancing women’s rights in Pakistan, he said: “The PPP has a proud history of empowering women by electing them as prime minister, speaker, and ministers, besides appointing judges and on other key posts for the first time in the history of Pakistan.” Paying tribute to Benazir Bhutto as a global icon of women’s empowerment, he highlighted her transformative initiatives, including the establishment of women’s police stations, the First Women Bank, and the Lady Health Workers Programme, which created opportunities for women across Pakistan. He pledged to uphold her legacy by continuing to work for a society where women are safe, valued and equal contributors to progress. Calling for collective action, the PPP chairman stated: “The elimination of violence against women is not just a women’s issue but a societal one. It demands the combined efforts of policymakers, civil society and citizens. Together, we can build a future where every woman lives free from fear and inequality.” Concluding his message, he expressed solidarity with the victims of violence, advocating for justice and urging the establishment of robust support systems to empower the survivors. He called on everyone to mark this day by raising awareness, supporting victims, and promoting gender equality as a shared responsibility.
