The federal government on Monday formally announced the new wedlock policy under which a husband and wife working in the public sector would be able to serve in one city and the female teachers on deputation could perform their duties in Islamabad for an indefinite time period.
Addressing a gathering of teachers in Islamabad, Ambassador for Women Empowerment Fiza Batool Gilani said the PPP was acting on the vision of Benazir Bhutto.
“The empowerment of women”, she said, “was a dream of Benazir Bhutto. Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) is working to envision and turn that dream into reality by empowering women.”
Announcing the decision of Federal Government, Fiza said she was happy on this day. “I am feeling proud today to achieve the goal and cross a milestone of giving husband/wife right to work in the same city. This decision will strengthen the family bonds and will, no doubt lessen the problems women face while their husbands are working far away from their homes”.
She paid a tribute to Benazir for her leadership and recalled her struggles for the empowerment of women.
Talking about the wedlock decision, she said the wedlock policy needed a necessary change. “It was not just a matter of continuing service in Islamabad but it infact was the matter of hundreds of families who suffer when husbands work in a city and wife in another one”.
At the end she also thanked prime minister for considering the matter as a serious issue and allowing her to resolve it.
