Pakistan’s Ambassador to the United States Sherry Rehman has said that the country was witnessing “good things like political and societal efforts towards protection of women’s rights”.
She was speaking at a reception hosted in honour of Pakistani women’s rights advocate and documentary filmmaker Samar Minallah, whose efforts were recognised by the Vital Voices organisation this week. US special envoy for Pakistan and Afghanistan Marc Grossman, Coordinator for US non-military assistance for Pakistan Ambassador Robin Raphel, Vital Voices chairperson Susan Davis, American journalists, writers and Pakistani-American women leaders were among those who attended the event.
“Women like Samar are greatly helping to bring change at grassroots level,” the ambassador said. While Pakistan still has to go far to ensure empowerment of women at all levels of the society, there is a lot to celebrate as well, the ambassador said.
