QUETTA, Jan 11 (APP):Advisor to the Chief Minister of Balochistan for the women development, Dr. Rubaba Khan Buledi, has termed the establishment of the Women Economic Empowerment Endowment Fund as a revolutionary and historic initiative aimed at positively transforming the economic and social status of women in the province.
In a statement issued here, she said that economic independence is the strongest guarantee of women’s social dignity and protection. Through the Women Economic Empowerment Endowment Fund, equal opportunities will be provided to skilled, educated yet unemployed women, as well as those belonging to underprivileged segments of society, enabling them to stand on their own feet.
Dr. Rubaba Khan Buledi added that the objective of this policy is to move women away from traditional economic dependency and empower them as successful entrepreneurs and business managers. This, she said, will not only help women support their families but also enable them to play an active role in strengthening the provincial economy.
She further emphasized that a strict code of conduct has been devised to ensure transparency and merit in the distribution of funds.
The Balochistan government’s top priority, she added, is women living in remote and rural areas who are unable to utilize their potential due to a severe lack of resources. Special provisions have also been included in the fund for the rehabilitation and support of widowed, destitute, and differently-abled women.
The advisor explained that financial assistance from the fund will be provided for starting small-scale businesses, promoting traditional handicrafts, and offering technical training aligned with modern-day requirements. This initiative aims to ensure that the daughters of Balochistan do not face financial constraints in their journey toward progress and self-reliance.
Dr. Rubaba Khan Buledi added that under the leadership of the Chief Minister of Balochistan, the provincial government remains fully committed to removing all social and economic barriers hindering women’s development and empowerment.
