Taluka Nazim Tando Allahyar Haji Khair Muhammad Khokhar has said that multidimensional strategy is needed to enhance the literacy rate and leadership qualities in working women and eliminate gender discrimination from the male dominated society of the country.
He was addressing the concluding ceremony of 4-day training workshop for elected councillors of all talukas of District Tando Allahyar, which was organised by provincial Planning & Development department in collaboration with UNDP and Sindh Civil Service and Local Government Academy Tandojam at Tando Allahyar.
Khokhar said that due to illiteracy, ill rites and so called tribal system, the country has been deprived from major part of our human resources of women folk.
He said that though increasing the representation of women in the electoral colleges was good omen, but still there are many other factors creating hindrances for engaging women folk fully in the different development fields. He said that literacy, capacity building of elected and working women would pave the ways for opening different new avenues for the development of women folk.
