[National Commission for Human Rights @nchrofficial]

Following NCHR’s intervention over discriminatory recruitment advert by Hyderabad Water & Sewerage Corporation, corrigendum has been issued in Daily Jang, Karachi, removing term “Non-Muslim". NCHR continues efforts to end discrimination if minorities in employment. @RabiyaJaveri

Newborns, hours old, lost to a fire in the very ward meant to protect them. I have no words adequate to this grief. What happened at PIMS is a tragedy and a disgrace. My heart is with the families, and @nchrofficial stands with them in their pursuit of truth and accountability.

[Rabiya Javeri Agha @RabiyaJaveri]

Well said.👏👏

If you know that a man you know is abusing a woman and you remain silent, you are also complicit…

Happy Independence Day everyone!

[Rabiya Javeri Agha @RabiyaJaveri]

Honestly we have no respect for nature! Heartbroken to see what rampant commercialism has done to Nathiagali.

Lovely to welcome Balormaa Amhaabazar country head of @WBG_Pakistan at @nchrofficial office today. Amongst others, we discussed human rights, climate resilience and the heartwrenching issue of child stunting in Pakistan.

Trees counteract urban heat island effect, reducing temperatures thro shade and evapotranspiration. We shd be planting more trees, not chopping them down. @afiasalam @ClimateChangePK @etribune

[Rabiya Javeri Agha @RabiyaJaveri]

It takes years to grow trees in #Karachi where water is so scarce & all of one hour to heartlessly cut them down...why is @DHAKarachiOfc doing this on Kht Hafiz? @dawn_com @murtazawahab1 @thenews_intl

Taxing menstrual products was effectively taxing a biological necessity..a long over due and welcome step by Pakistan.

[National Commission for Human Rights @nchrofficial]

Menstrual products are a necessity, not a luxury. Pakistan’s decision to remove taxes on female hygiene products is a welcome step that will make them more affordable & accessible for millions of women and girls. 👏

[Rabiya Javeri Agha @RabiyaJaveri]

NCHR is following minute by minute...enough is enough!

[National Commission for Human Rights @nchrofficial]

Update on the alleged honour killing case of Mst. Gullan Bharo, a 23-year-old woman reportedly killed within the jurisdiction of Police Station Jhangro, District Sukkur. NCHR continues to closely monitor the matter and is taking steps to become a party to the case.

[Rabiya Javeri Agha @RabiyaJaveri]

NCHR has filed constitutional petition before Federal Constitutional Court seeking an end to manual sewer cleaning that has the deaths of numerous sanitation workers. NCHR’s inquiry report “Risk of Sanitation Work in Pakistan” (2022–2024) documents such deaths & injuries.

[National Commission for Human Rights @nchrofficial]

The recent deaths of sanitation workers in Bahawalpur underscore the urgent need for transparent accountability at every level of negligence. These preventable fatalities reflect structural inequality that pushes marginalized communities into the most dangerous forms of labour without protection or alternatives. NCHR calls for justice through timely legal and institutional action, and an end to practices that normalize lethal working conditions. @RabiyaJaveri

[Rabiya Javeri Agha @RabiyaJaveri]

Heartbreaking and horrific.

[Rabiya Javeri Agha @RabiyaJaveri]

The horrific acid attack on Dr. Mahnoor Nasir is another reminder of the alarming rise in violence against women in Pakistan. Domestic abuse, workplace harassment,honor killings continue unabated & without accountability.

[Rabiya Javeri Agha @RabiyaJaveri]

On #WorldEnvironmentDay lets remember the dreadful floods of '22 and reflect....

[Rabiya Javeri Agha @RabiyaJaveri]

Horrified to discover this new mechanism for controlling women. Young independent women locked in so called 'Rehab Centers' for simply saying "No". https://t.co/pIhS9sGQMe

[National Commission for Human Rights @nchrofficial]

Behind closed doors, some women are deprived of their freedom and dignity. Emaan Yasin Malik, author of Caged in Care, highlights the hidden human rights violations faced by women unlawfully confined in rehabilitation centres and calls for greater awareness, accountability, and protection of their rights.
