The Chairperson, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Commission on the Status of Women (KPCSW),Dr @SumeraShams has successfully concluded participation in the Pakistan–Indonesia Exposure and Learning Visit on Women, Peace and Security (WPS) held from 19–24 January 2026, with support from UN Women.
Representing the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the Chairperson joined a high-level Pakistani delegation including the Federal Secretary Human Rights Pakistan, Chairperson NCSW, Chairperson BCSW, and civil society representatives.
The delegation engaged with Indonesian government institutions, police leadership, national women and human rights commissions, and civil society actors. Discussions focused on community-based peacebuilding, gender-responsive policing, women’s leadership in peace and security, and localized implementation of the WPS agenda.
The Chairperson highlighted that while Pakistan has strong legal and policy frameworks for women’s rights, effective governance and implementation, especially in conflict-affected areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, remain key challenges. She reaffirmed KPCSW’s commitment to adapting relevant Indonesian best practices to strengthen provincial institutions and women’s participation in peace and security decision-making.
Appreciation was extended to UN Women Pakistan and UN Women Indonesia for facilitating impactful South–South cooperation. The visit is expected to inform action-oriented reforms and strengthen institutional practices for women’s empowerment, peace, and justice in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
