| Ending domestic violence, safeguarding Women’s Rights imperative: Bukhari | | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, Apr 1: Describing the women real builders of prosperous society, Apni Party (AP) president Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari said regrettably in the current times women security has become a pressing issue and a matter of worrying concern.
AP on Thursday organized a one-day Women’s Convention in which women from all over Kashmir province participated at its office in Lal Chowk, Srinagar, a spokesman of the party said Thursday afternoon,
Addressing the women’s convention, Bukhari said the role of women is of colossal significance in building up a flourishing and progressive society.
“The women folk are real builders of a prosperous society. Regrettably, in current times women security has become a pressing issue and a matter of worrying concern.
There exist a profound need for constituting Sexual Harassment Committees in Jammu and Kashmir so that the women can freely work at any office without facing teasing or sexual harassments,” he demanded.
He said the case of domestic violence victim from district Anantnag is a blot on our society wherein a mother of two children was allegedly burnt by her in-laws.
“Such culpable incidents are indicative of the veracity of numerous domestic violence cases that have lamentably received a silent approval in our society.
However, such barbaric incidents need to end. The administration must ensure the safety of such women by implementing the women protection laws in letter and spirit while punishing the culprits on a prompt basis,” he demanded.
He also announced that the Party will constitute its Provincial and District Women’s Committees in the impending future as it stands committed for a fair women representation in the political quorums as well.
On the occasion, women participants thanked the Party leadership for organising such an event and expressed their gratitude for raising voices over the pressing women issues. They further avowed to strengthen the Party at grassroots level. |
