Moreover, the CM in his message on the occasion on 'World Women Day' said: "Empowering to the women is the mission of PTI government and historic steps have been taken in this regard for the elimination of gender discrimination, safeguarding the rights of women and giving them socio-economic empowerment; Day-care centres have been set up for facilitating the working women in public-private institutes in Punjab."
He said that provision of resources for empowering the women is a beneficial investment for setting up of enlightened society. "No society can move forward without proper participation of women in life; Pakistani women are hard-working and capable and earned the name in different sectors and the government will make women of backward areas economically and socially strong," he said.
