Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has ordered the establishment of bar rooms and daycare centres for women lawyers in three districts of the province.
This initiative comes in response to requests from women lawyers for the creation of ladies’ bar rooms and daycare centres, highlighting the need for improved facilities in the legal profession.
On Saturday, Maryam directed the Department of Communications and Works to take immediate action to construct these facilities in Attock, Bahawalnagar, and Lodhran.
The Communications and Works Department has already prepared standard designs for the ladies’ bar rooms in these areas.
The CM emphasized that it is crucial for women lawyers to have access to basic amenities in their workplaces.
Plans are also underway to assess the feasibility of establishing additional ladies’ bar rooms in other regions.
Punjab’s Advocate General, Khalid Ishaq, announced that ladies’ bar rooms will also be set up in the bar associations of Jand, Fort Abbas, and Dunyapur, with daycare centers included to further assist women lawyers.
Furthermore, small kitchen facilities will be added for their convenience.
