Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Patron-In-Chief, Pakistan Peoples Party said violence against women is the worst form of human rights violations and its complete elimination remains the core dream of any progressive human society.

In his message on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women being observed on November 25 under the aegis of United Nations, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari reiterated the commitment of his Party towards the steps and actions to protect women from violence and crimes. He said PPP had always stood for empowerment of women and election of his mother as the first woman ever elected to head an Islamic nation had proved that an overwhelming majority of our nation treats their mothers, daughters and sisters as equal partners in progress, peace and prosperity. Bilawal Bhutto Zardari pointed out that women in Pakistan have immensely benefitted from Benazir Income Support Programme, Benazir Bhutto Shaheed Youth Development Programme and several other legislative and practical steps initiated under People’s governments. He said as a son of a martyr mother, he will continue the efforts launched by Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto for the political, social and economic empowerment of women to ensure complete elimination of violence against women in Pakistan.
