The Sindh chief secretary has taken notice of the doxing of 25 women government officersand instructed the authorities to ensure their safety. The Sindh Social Welfare Department, where the women were posted, has called the aggrieved officers for a meeting at its office on Thursday. The phone numbers of 25 women officers were leaked on ‘inappropriate websites’ after they filed a petition in the Sindh High Court regarding promotions. Before the first hearing of the case was held, the phone numbers of the officers were leaked on multiple social media platforms. According to the officers, they have been receiving phone calls and inappropriate and indecent messages from unknown numbers–both national and international. They also complained that they were being harassed online. The officers have registered a joint complaint at the FIA’s cybercrime cell.
