KARACHI:
Despite taking several measures to provide social protection and relief to the women of Sindh, the provincial government still has to accomplish much. These measures range from making legislation, setting up relevant government bodies and launching projects with investment worth millions.
The reasons behind slow progress in gender equality are lack of implementation of relevant laws, male dominance in women-specific government institutions and mismanagement of funds earmarked for administrative affairs.
