National Commission on the Status of Women observed the National Working Women Day on Monday to recognise the struggle of working women in order to secure a dignified and respectful working environment.

In a statement, Chairperson of the Commission Khawar Mumtaz said that the day is observed to acknowledge the economic contributions made by women to the country.

She said despite an improvement in the socio-economic status of women, a lot still needed to be done.

The commission also expressed deep sorrow and grief over the demise of Asma Jahangir, the great supporter of the human rights in the country.
