Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said on Thursday that educating girls and providing them with vocational training without any discrimination was the sole guarantee of Pakistan’s prosperity and progress. In his message on the occasion of International Day of the Girl Child, the PPP chairman said that a future based on progress and prosperity could remain a dream without empowering girls and taking them on board in all matters. “PPP’s provincial government is taking every step for bringing our daughters ahead in every section of life and field,” said Bilawal. Bilawal Bhutto said that Sindh’s incumbent government of PPP had ensured free and standard education for girls and was supporting female students with cash stipends. He said that his party was the sole party that fully represented women and was the biggest advocate of women’s rights. Bilawal Bhutto Zardari saluted all those women who stepped forward in all sections of life and field while defeating many impediments at every level and social taboos. “Our women who have courageously overcome the social taboos and governmental restrictions would one day represent the true colours of Fatima Jinnah, Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto, AsmaJehangir and Maryam Mukhtar. Let us respect them and value them,” said the PPP Chairman. Published in Daily Times, October 12th 2018.
