A delegation of the Women’s Parliamentary Caucus (WPC), led by Secretary WPC Dr. Shahida Rehmani, visited the National Commission on the Status of Women (NCSW) in Islamabad today and held a detailed discussion on strengthening institutional efforts for the protection, empowerment and advancement of women’s rights.

Ms. Noureen Bano Lehri, Interim Chairperson NCSW, welcomed the delegation and briefed members on the Commission’s Strategic Plan 2026–2029, National Gender Parity Dashboard, bilingual awareness initiatives and other priorities, including the longstanding issue of pending appointments to the Commission.

Dr. Shahida Rehmani appreciated NCSW’s efforts to promote gender equality and advance women-related legislation, stressing that laws and policies must translate into effective action at the grassroots level, particularly for underserved and vulnerable women. She emphasized the importance of institutional coordination, accountability and outcome-based approaches to ensure meaningful implementation.

The delegation also expressed deep concern and strongly condemned the brutal murder of Ms. Hina Javed, an NITB employee deputed at the National Assembly Secretariat. Dr. Shahida Rehmani reiterated the WPC’s commitment to pursuing justice for Ms. Hina Javed and called for a free, fair, transparent and impartial investigation. She stated that NCSW is being taken on board by the WPC to engage all relevant institutional mechanisms, ensure transparency throughout the investigation, and ensure that all those found responsible are brought to justice and awarded severe punishment in accordance with the law.

The meeting also focused on stronger coordination between NCSW and NDMA to address the disproportionate impact of climate change and natural disasters on women, alongside the need for accurate and gender-disaggregated data for evidence-based legislation, policymaking, budgeting and parliamentary oversight.

Members emphasized targeted measures for rural women, including improved access to education, healthcare, justice, economic opportunities and information about their rights. They also proposed incorporating women’s rights and gender equality into primary school curricula and strengthening awareness of women’s legal rights and protections through the Nikahnama.

The delegation comprised MNAs Ms. Sofia Saeed Shah, Ms. Huma Akhtar Chughtai, Ms. Zahra Wadood Fatemi, Ms. Naeema Kishwar Khan, Ms. Tamkeen Akhtar Niazi, Ms. Mah Jabeen Abbasi, Ms. Neelum, Ms. Asia Naz Tanoli and Ms. Akhtar Bibi.

The details of Hina Javed’s murder are horrifying.

In Noor Mukadam’s case, one SC judge appallingly said the crime was a consequence of “living relationships”. Hina was brutally killed in her own marital home, less than a year after getting married. No adherence to traditional norms, marriage, or supposed “moral codes" protects women from violence.

The problem is not women’s choices, but a society that keeps justifying violence rather than confronting it.

We must stop asking what the victim could have done differently. This is a time to demand accountability.

Hina Javed has been brutally murdered by her husband in Lahore, a former professor at NUST, with his father also allegedly involved and still roaming free.
What is happening in this country? Women and children are being killed and raped by their own family members or by paedophiles. What kind of society have we become?

These two images depict the stark reality of femicide in Pakistan, which has now become a national emergency.

Hina Zareef , murdered by her own father under the false pretext of “honour,” with involvement of her family, after she refused to remain in a marriage that she had not consented to. Her father had given assurances on a stamp paper that he would not harm her prior to taking her back home.

Hina Javed another young woman, murdered by her husband , an Ex Nust University Professor just 10 months into their marriage. She had suffered severe torture, was beaten, and tied up in the bathroom. Her in-laws, suspected as accomplices, remain free.

Home is not a safe place for many women and girls in this country.

These grave crimes continue with impunity. Every day, another murder, rape, assault, or kidnapping of a woman makes headlines. yet governments across Pakistan remain without any strategy or pre-emptive action to end this.

This is a national emergency, and the state’s continued inaction is unacceptable.

Please raise your voice for these two young women, and for the countless others whose lives have been ended with such brutality.

Faisal, a NUST professor, brutally murdered his wife, whom he had married only 10 months ago.

this is the state of those who are supposed to educate and shape the next generation… this country is literally rotten to the core.

میں بار بار اس تصویر کو دیکھ کر افسوس کا اظہار کررہی ہو کیسے ایک پڑھی لکھی اتنی قابل والدین کی خدمت گزار لڑکی اس درندے کے ہاتھ لگ گئ یہ ایک ارینج میرج تھی کاش کہ یہ گھریلو تشدد پہلے رپورٹ ہوا ہوتا تو حنا جاوید آج زندہ ہوتی۔ پتہ نہیں معصوم نے کیا کیا چپ کرکے سہا اور کیا کیا جھلیتی رہی۔

I urge @OfficialDPRPP, @RwpPolice and the Punjab Police leadership to ensure a transparent, impartial and fearless investigation. I also appeal to CM Punjab @MaryamNSharif & @ShahNafisa to personally ensure that justice is not delayed or compromised.

[Ali Asghar Awan @AliAsghar_Awan]

Those who take an innocent life must not be allowed to hide behind influence, relationships or power.

A murderer walking free is a failure of justice. Hina deserves justice
