5/5 @pcswpb excellence as a research + policy advisory institution couldn't have been achieved without @fauziaviqars vision. In 2018, an Economic #Incubator and #JobFacilitation Centre was set up for women. Successful #businesses incubated and employed women speak for themselves
1/5 In 5 years of being CP of @pcswpb, @fauziaviqar set up a robust helpline #1043 that aided and advised distressed women across #Punjab reg legal, employment, family law, problems. The Helpline advised & dealt with complaints of approx. 400k women

I haven’t seen more work being done for women with every lens, policy, legislation & implementation as much as what Fauzia Viqar did holding office. True demonstration of expertise and passion for changing the lives of women and girls @pcswpb@fauziaviqar#WomenEmpowerment
