International Women’s Day 2025 – Message from Secretary Women Parliamentary Caucus
Islamabad : On this significant occasion of International Women’s Day 2025, I extend my heartfelt greetings to the women of Pakistan and around the world. Today, we celebrate the remarkable achievements made in the pursuit of gender equality and reflect on the work that remains to be done.
As Secretary of the Women Parliamentary Caucus in the National Assembly, I am proud to reaffirm our collective commitment to advancing the rights and opportunities of women in Pakistan. Guided by the principles enshrined in our Constitution, we have worked tirelessly across party lines to enact legislation that protects women’s rights, promotes safer workplaces, ensures equal access to education, and expands economic empowerment.
We are inspired by the trailblazing leadership of Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto, whose legacy continues to illuminate the path for women in leadership. We also honor the dedication of leaders like Ms. Faryal Talpur, whose unwavering advocacy has amplified women’s voices in politics, and Ms. Aseefa Bhutto Zardari, who represents the promise of a new generation committed to justice and equality.
On this day, I call upon policymakers, civil society, and citizens to join hands in building a Pakistan where every woman can live with dignity, freedom, and equal opportunity. Let us continue to break barriers, challenge stereotypes, and create a society where women are empowered to lead, innovate, and thrive.
Together, we can turn the vision of gender equality into a reality for generations to come.
Dr. Syeda Shahida Rehmani, Member of the National Assembly
Secretary, Women Parliamentary Caucus
