The police department in Pakistan has been neglected from the beginning. The male dominance has tremendously increased in this department as societal and institutional hurdles have prevented women from joining the police. Thus, the perception that this department is only for males has become entrenched in society. But we have to change this by highlighting the positive developments that inducting women into police department will bring. This will help in encouraging the women of our society to join police as a profession.
At present, the winds of change are blowing as many women are now the vibrant part of police department. A number of them have worked hard to reach the leading posts. They are performing their duties with complete responsibility. The present cadre of female officials has paved the path for new generation. They are role models for all the women in our society.
By joining the police department, the women have the chance to show their abilities and excel in this field. By joining police they can actively participate in uplifting the status of women in society. They will better be able to highlight the problems associated with our women, as women have a better tendency to understand the problems of women. This will help in solving different problems that are associated with women.
The majority of women are unaware of their rights, so by joining the police they will find a platform where they will be in a better position to know about their rights. Women are also the custodians of our society same as men, and can become the agents of change. So the induction of more women in the police will have a trickle down effect on our society, and also help in projecting a more positive image of the department.
