Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari Sunday appreciated the Sindh government for increasing women quota in government jobs from 5 per cent to 15 per cent, ordered through a notification on the International Women’s Day.
In a statement, the PPP chairman said that such increase in women quota has set another precedent in the party’s quest for the empowerment of women and giving them more and more opportunities for them to play their due role in nation building. “In every sphere of life, the role of women will be made more effective thereby giving them a society where they are treated as equal partners in progress,” he added.
Zardari stressed that media should highlight the steps being taken by the Sindh government for the improvement of different segments of the society having designed for far-reaching positive effects on the future.
PPP chairman vowed that PPP will increase women quota in government in federal and Punjab, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan provincial governments whenever it came to power in centre and in these provinces.
Zardari also directed the Sindh government to put in place a smooth mechanism for implementation of women quota in letter and spirit in every department and official authorities.
