Balochistan Government is enforcing a zero-tolerance policy toward violence against women.
Adviser to the Chief Minister of Balochistan on Women Development, Dr. Rubaba Khan Buledi, has said that violence against women affects not only individual victims but also weakens the intellectual, social, and moral foundation of Balochistan’s society.
Speaking on Tuesday on the eve of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, she said that domestic abuse, harassment, threats, humiliation, and economic exploitation severely damage a woman’s freedom, confidence, identity, and dignity. She added that when women in Balochistan do not feel safe at home, in workplaces, or in public spaces, the consequences extend beyond personal suffering and create broader instability, fear, and imbalance in the province.
Dr. Buledi said the Balochistan government remains fully committed to a zero-tolerance policy toward violence against women and is implementing practical measures to address the issue. She noted that the provincial administration has strengthened legislation, improved institutional responses, expanded awareness campaigns, and ensured the availability of helplines, shelter homes, and support services for survivors across Balochistan.
She emphasized that a civilised and conscious society is defined by its ability to provide women with safety, respect, and the freedom to make decisions about their own lives. Dr. Rubaba Khan Buledi reaffirmed that societal attitudes in Balochistan must continue to evolve so women can live secure, dignified, and empowered lives free from violence in any form.
Women in Balochistan have been a soft target by BLA and BLF, who coerce them into joining the terror outfit. Cases such as Adila Baloch, Mahil Baloch have surfaced recently.
Dr. Allah Nazar Baloch, the chief of the banned Baloch Liberation Front (BLF), urged Baloch women to “take up weapons” and join the banned outfit.
