Abstract

This article, written in Urdu, explores the role of women's wings within political, religious, and social organizations in Pakistan, with a specific focus on the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Women’s Wing. It begins by noting that while various groups, including religious and social ones, have female representation, the PPP has been particularly dedicated to women's empowerment.


The paper outlines the history and objectives of the PPP Women's Wing, tracing its origins back to Begum Nusrat Bhutto and highlighting the pivotal role of Benazir Bhutto, who became the first female Prime Minister of a Muslim nation. It details the party's consistent efforts to advance women's rights and mainstream their participation in political and societal spheres, citing key achievements such as:



  • Political Representation: Appointing women to prominent positions and ensuring their inclusion in assemblies.

  • Legal Protections: Ratifying international conventions against discrimination and amending discriminatory laws.

  • Economic Empowerment: Initiating programs like the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) and creating the first women's bank to provide financial assistance and employment opportunities.


Education and Social Welfare: Expanding educational access for girls and establishing dedicated police stations and crisis centers for women.


The article also touches on the broader landscape of women’s organizations in Pakistan, such as Shirkat Gah and Women's Front, acknowledging their significant contributions to the women's rights movement. Ultimately, the abstract concludes that the PPP’s manifesto consistently reflects a strong commitment to enhancing women's status, ensuring their rights, and fostering their political, economic, and social independence...
