NCHR stands for women’s rights to safety and protection in public spaces this #16DaysOfActivism2025 @UNDP_Pakistan @RabiyaJaveri #NCHR

The @nchrofficial, in partnership with #UNDPinPakistan and financed by @EUPakistan 🇪🇺, convened an end-of-term event to reflect on four years of impact — from strengthening protections for women, minorities, prisoners, and other marginalized groups to achieving A-status accreditation by @Ganhri1.

Speaking at the event, UNDP RR Dr. @SamuelRizk commended NCHR for setting a high standard of transparency. “NCHR has shown that human rights work is not just an office to hold or a job to do — it is a conscientious commitment,” he said, while highlighting the importance of continuity to sustain the progress made over the past years.

“When an institution stands firmly on principle and courage, meaningful change becomes possible,” said Chairperson @RabiyaJaveri while presenting the Commission's four year journey and impact.

“@nchrofficial rebuilt systems, strengthened oversight, and centered the experiences of people whose rights are too often overlooked. Today is not just a celebration of institutional progress, but of every survivor, every community, and every partner who trusted us with their stories. Their resilience has shaped the NCHR's journey.”

Women in Pakistan are being locked in “rehab” centres — not for treatment, but for refusing marriage or obedience.

This is control, not care.
