Women’s commission bill passed by NA | Newspaper | DAWN.COM:

We hope women in Pakistan would be better protected against inhuman treatment with this new law.

"The bill, stipulating what the house was told a commission administratively and financially independent with powers of a civil court compared to some previous toothless predecessors and with a key role of parliament in its constitution, must also be passed by the Senate to become law. It seeks the repeal of the existing National Commission on the Status of Women Ordinance, 2000."
