nation can not progress until its women are educated and aware. RD Consultant

LARKANA, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 13th May, 2026) Syed Shakeel Haider, consultant at the Regional Office Larkana of the Provincial Ombudsman Sindh, said that a society and institutions that do not give importance and protection to women cannot be called civilized.

He expressed these views while addressing an awareness seminar organized by the Ombudsman institution on Wednesday at SZABIST Technical and Vocational Education Larkana regarding the prevention of harassment against women. He said that no nation can progress until its women are educated and aware, because islam has instructed both men and women to seek education and has also emphasized hard work. Islam also teaches that people should spend according to the resources earned through their own efforts.

He further stated that women should focus on their work during employment and maintain their dignity and importance. If anyone harasses them at work, they should report it to the head of the institution or the committee established within the organization, because women and men have equal rights in society.

He said that women work alongside men in institutions and everyday life and provide excellent services. Especially women working at home perform their duties with patience and determination while managing household responsibilities effectively.

He added that women also play a strong role in other fields, particularly in business and the economy, and contribute greatly to their families.

He further said that the Ombudsman institution organizes seminars throughout Sindh to raise awareness among the public and women. Similar seminars and programs are also held in educational institutions as well as public and private organizations to educate working women so they can raise their voices against harassment or any unlawful act committed against them.

During the seminar, it was emphasized that if women face any form of harassment at work, raising their voice against it is their legal and fundamental right. He said that under the 2010 Act, a clear framework has been established for employees working in institutions to ensure their protection. This includes protection against unethical behavior and sexual harassment, particularly against women in the workplace.

On this occasion Sakshi, Chapter Coordinator of the institution, Waris Haider (Admin Officer), Mairaj Ahmed Samtio (Information Officer Larkana, Mansoor Ali Mangi, Abdul Samee Somro, Junaid Ahmed Gorar and others also attended the seminar.
