Special Assistants to Chief Minister Sindh for Human Rights Veer Kohli, Syed Qasim Naveed and Anis Haroon also addressed the gathering.

It is therefore imperative that we provide full awareness of these laws to SHOs and other investigating officers across the province. In this regard, IG Sindh Police is in constant touch with the Women’s Development Department.
She said that helpline 1094 has been set up under the Department of Women Development where affected women can register their grievances.
