NCHR has serious concerns on further sentencing of lawyers Imaan & Hadi to 10 yrs imprisonment. Right to fair trial, due process & effective judicial remedies must be fully protected.Severity of sentences raises concerns about proportionality & protection of fundamental rights.

[National Commission for Human Rights @nchrofficial]

NCHR expresses concern over reports of possible extraordinary measures in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. While recognising the grave threat of terrorism & Government’s duty to protect citizens, NCHR emphasises that all security measures must respect democratic processes & fundamental rights

The abysmal lack of systems and sops. And the most vulnerable are paying the price. Again and again.

[Munizae Jahangir @MunizaeJahangir]

There has been criminal negligence in this case & if there is no independent inquiry and if those responsible are not prosecuted then it will be a big failure of the state.This was not just a terrible accident but criminal negligence of PIMS staff which led to the death of 14 innocent newborns in the most horrific way which has stunned a nation .

Over the years I have posted about countless crimes against women, the hashtags, the horrors - today I’m posting because my cousin Hina Javed was murdered in her in-laws home yesterday. She’d been married less than 10 months. Pray for her, pray for justice. Demand justice.

EU’s recognition of National Commission for Human Rights as an important institution advancing Pakistan’s human rights obligations is an encouraging acknowledgment of progress being made. NCHR remains committed to strengthening rights protections. @RabiyaJaveri @EUPakistan @MoCommercePk

Hon Justice Ayesha Malik: "Are we talking to our children? Bringing their opinions into the room?" Mindset prevails - hence perspectives of children necessary to undo child labour. "They should be heard laughing." #EndChildLabour @RabiyaJaveri

Thank you Sarwat for always standing up for Child Rights and raising your voice on such an important issue.

[National Commission for Human Rights @nchrofficial]

Actor and @NCRC_Pakistan Brand Ambassador for Child Rights @sarwatgilani asks everyone to close their eyes and imagine if the child labourers we see everyday in Pakistan included our very own children. #EndChildLabour @RabiyaJaveri @UNICEF_Pakistan

Leaders in innovation, research and development and #Pakistan has lost all local production by these companies except #GSK #disinvestment #pharma once identified as a #sunriseindustry with a huge #export potential when will we learn to build and not destroy

[National Commission for Human Rights @nchrofficial]

On World Day Against Child Labour, NCHR notes with concern that 8.61 million children in Pakistan are trapped in child labour, while 6.61 million are engaged in hazardous work. Behind every statistic is a child whose rights, education and future are at risk. #EndChildLabour @UNICEF_Pakistan

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.

Today, NCHR launches Caged in Care — a stark look into the abuse, neglect, and unlawful confinement hidden behind the walls of rehabilitation and mental health facilities in Pakistan. Care cannot come at the cost of dignity, consent, and human rights. #CagedinCare @RabiyaJaveri

[National Commission for Human Rights @nchrofficial]

NCHR condemns the forceful arrest of Sheema Kirmani & other organisers of the Aurat March. Peaceful protest is a Constitutional right for all citizens.

Nearly 1 in 6 girls are married before 18 yrs with an estimated 19 million child brides. This law is welcome news that can protect womens futures. Early marriage means lost education, poor health, and cycles of poverty
