ISLAMABAD, Jun 28 (Alliance News): Federal Minister for Law and Justice Senator Azam Nazeer Tarar on Thursday said that legal reforms were very important to ensure justice and equality for women across Pakistan.
He said that for the betterment of society, negative attitudes must be abandoned, adding that not only legislation but also its implementation was necessary to solve problems.
He expressed these views a special guest at the concluding session of a three-day National Conference on Women’s Health organized by the National Commission for the Dignity of Women.
The minister said that implementation of the laws was the responsibility of the state, but dialogue should also be held to resolve the problems. Monitoring of revenue authorities should be tightened, he said.
He said instead of seminars and ceremonies, focus should be held on constructive work.
