Peshawar, 19 December 2021 (TDI): Canada collaborated with South Asia Partnership Pakistan (SAP-Pakistan) to organize a conference in Peshawar on Thursday.
This conference was attended by a few government officials and 300 women candidates. The conference was titled ‘Women in Local Government Convention’. The goal of the conference was to support and promote women’s rights in Peshawar. The Canadian advocates in Peshawar and Pakistan aspire to promote the role of women in the local and government sectors of Pakistan.
For the promotion of women’s rights, it is essential to integrate women into various sectors of Pakistan, either private or public. The government of Pakistan is making groundbreaking efforts to encourage the inclusion of women in different fields of work.

Women are being enrolled in security forces as well. The government of Pakistan with the help of International Organizations is facilitating women by creating separate barracks for them. This inclusion would help women in supporting other women and would boost gender rights in Pakistan as well.
Through such initiative, women would be given equal rights in all sectors thus reducing the male dominance in society.
