Seminar on women’s rights and domestic violence

Seminar on women’s rights and domestic violence was held at hotel Faran Karachi. It was an initiative taken by Mubashir Bhutta Human Rights and other human rights activists and senior lawyers key speaker was Mubashir Bhutta Advocate, Salim Salam Ansari Advocate, Safiuddin awan Advocate ,Irfan Bhutta Advocate and Shazia Malik advocate along with other lawyers from the Bar. Many Activists & Lawyers women and men were participated from different parts of the state. “A promise is a promise: Time for action to end violence against women” which calls for overcoming the obstacles to carry out speedy justice against the atrocities committed on women. The violation of women’s fundamental rights through physical, mental, emotional, and sexual violence against women has become almost commonplace. Violence against women has taken particularly acute forms in circumstances where populations are already marginalized. Women in the Tribal belts and amongst Dalit populations are already vulnerable, and become even more so in areas affected by conflict. There is therefore a pressing need for the judiciary to recognize and address the particular forms of violence levied against women who are ‘doubly marginalized’ by caste, class, religion, or in situations conflict.
