Women purposely kept backward: PEW


Islamabad: [June 08]
Dr. Murtaza Mughal, President the Pakistan Economy Watch (PEW) on Wednesday said that women in Pakistan are intentionally kept backward for systemic subordination.

Budget has offered nothing to women entrepreneurs as no step has been taken to improve quality of life of women involved in micro or large businesses, he said.

Talking to Dr. Shehla Javed Akram, Vice President FPCCI, Fazal Elahi, VP FPCCI, Hameed Akhtar Chadda, Chairman FPCCI Capital Office and Malik Sohail Hussain, Chairman Media FPCCI and others, he said that ministries for women development have confused mandate which is not helping women entrepreneurs.
