Working women must be made aware of their rights: NCSW

ISLAMABAD: National Commission on the Status of Women (NCSW) Chairwoman Khawar Mumtaz on Friday said that lack of awareness about Protection against Harassment of Women at the Workplace Act, 2010, was the biggest hurdle in its effective implementation.

She said the NCSW collaborated with the government and civil society organisations to facilitate the women who had entered the mainstream society and were practically contributing to national economy.

Talking to APP, she said that successive federal and provincial governments in Pakistan showed commitment to the cause of women, and that promulgation of the Protection against Harassment of Women at Workplace Act 2010 was manifestation of the government’s resolve to address the concerns and issues of working women.
