Trying hard to get Child Marriage Restraint Bill passed, only Sindh has so far passed similar bill: Sherry Rehman



PPP Senator sherry Rehman sharing her thoughts in a seminar organized by SDPI earlier this week has claimed that:

"“Humanity must take stock of how best it can build a manifesto of change in times of a retreat from inclusion.The politics of exclusion are the enemy of the good.We must not lose sight of civilization dreams based on leveraging  strengths through connectivity and Knowledge links."

More over she said that:

" We are trying hard to get Child Marriage Restraint Bill passed in the Senate. Only Sindh so far has passed a similar law making the age of consent and childhood up to 18 years of age .Every 20 minutes a woman dies of pregnancy complications in Pakistan because 1/3 women are married underage. Let us support a law that stops this."

Senator further elaborated that:

"Education, particularly that of girls, should be on the government’s top agenda. As the campaign for girls education strengthens globally, we must ensure that our girls are afforded the same right and access to opportunities."

Ms. Sherry also confined that:

"Reporting status of 6 Ratified Human Rights Conventions as on 29/10/2018. Implementing them on the ground as a meaningful reality for the vulnerable remains a challenge. The point is, is any Govt in Pakistan designed to be up to the task."

Slowly and gradually she became a symbol of resistance. Loved and revered by those who believed in humanism; She became the voice of African women. Bringing forward the evil practices like female gentile mutilation; Everyone listened to her carefully; And hailed her for breaking the evil cage of dogma. For best ideals she put her life in danger; As she started calling her ‘infidel’; Her own people wanted to kill her. But the humanists came to rescue her, They took her to lands where free speech was not a sin, Where people where ready to listen to anything and everything; Our beautiful and charming ‘Caged Virgin’ was now ‘un-caged’; and not the virgin anymore.
