The National Commission on the Status of Women (NCSW) in support with the Ministry of Human Rights & UN Women launched a commemorative postage stamp to spread awareness about gender-based violence in the country and to honor the victims.
The first session of the event was a round table consultation on the increasing incidents of violence against women issues with Chairperson NCSW, Ms. Nilofar Bakhtiar and top leading gender experts in Pakistan. A resolution/charter of demands was then created and signed which pinpointed the mechanisms to reduce the prevalence of gender-based violence in the country which was shared to the audience at the end of the event.
The second session of the event was an art exhibition consisting of pieces of art from the NCSW poster competition held in 2021 and 2022, as well as artwork brought in by Nagin Hayat from the Nomad Gallery and the Czech Embassy. This commemorative stamp was selected after a poster competition on ending violence against women which was help on December 2022 during the 16 Days of Activism and approved by the Prime Minister.
