Parliamentary Secretary of Law, Science, and Information Technology Dr. Rubaba Khan Buledi Thursday underscored the need to empower women to bring the rapidly growing population to a sustainable level. Effective measures should be taken by formulating strategies to empower Pakistani women by providing equal opportunities and creating awareness about their reproductive health rights to bring the rapidly growing population to a sustainable level, said Buledi.
She was addressing a seminar organized in collaboration with UNFPA and the Population welfare department to mark World Population Day. “Only 10 percent of the total female population can make decisions about their own health,” she remarked.
