Every time we discuss social protection, the same accusation returns: “This is begging. This will make people lazy.”

Responsible business conduct is increasingly becoming part of the new language of competitiveness.
Pleased to see government, employers' & workers' organizations and development partners come together to discuss Business and Human Rights and Responsible Business Conduct in 🇵🇰.
کرمنل لا ترمیمی بل 2026:تیزاب گردی کے مجرموں کے لیے سزائے موت کی تجویز
I strongly endorse this amendment. Acid throwers don’t just scar faces,they sentence victims to years of surgeries,a trauma & stigma. Life worse than death.
Law must be as brutal as the crime to the victim.

Social Protection is not a handout. I urge everyone to join and witness,how these stipends means food,school fees, medicine. It’s not charity,Its hope.
Also shared Aaghosh for maternal/child health, Khud Mukhtar for women’s economic empowerment, Nai Zindagi for acid survivors. As Vice Chair PSPA: progress scales with partners. Inter-Provincial Forum + MoUs with ILO, WFP, now UN Women. Collective action delivers. 2/2
