He stated that the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) has always been committed to protecting women’s rights and dignity and would continue for the cause.

He said PPP has consistently taken practical steps to safeguard women’s rights, empower them, and promote equality, with initiatives like the Benazir Income Support Program standing as a notable example.
Governor Kundi stressed the need for more effective measures in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to ensure women have equal opportunities in all sectors.
He reaffirmed that the Governor House in Peshawar would continue its efforts to protect women’s rights, aiming to build a society where women can confidently contribute to national development without fear or hesitation.
