HYDERABAD: Sindh Minister for Women’s Development Shehla Raza said that Women’s Development department was working to provide all kinds of legal and logistical support to helpless women who were victims of various types of violence in society.

She said in majority of cases, parents of girls do not disclose abduction in time, due to which they face problems. Talking to media representatives on her visit to Darul Aman Qasimabad Hyderabad she said that most of such cases come to light through social media and parents were not ready to bring cases of child marriages to public, but after listening to words of girl, department itself comes forward and supports them. She said one of reasons for early marriages and violence against women is illiteracy and lack of awareness.

She said every missing girl is not a case of abduction, some girls even leave home due to their ignorance and we knew about it when news went viral in social or mainstream media. On visit to Darul Aman and Safe House, she said that they are playing role in providing basic facilities to girls in Darul Aman and Safe House. Safe House in-charge Reshma Thebo, lawyer Rehana Gujjar and Deputy Director Women Development Ashiq Hussain Kalhoro were also present.
