BADIN, Dec 28: Senator Ms Yasmin Shah has called the women’s rights law a great achievement and said it has made women more secure and effectively prevented misuse of powers against them.

Ms Yasmin said while speaking at a certificate distribution ceremony for the graduates of Community Technology Learning Centre (CTLC) organised by National Commission for Human Development (NCHD) on Wednesday that the challenges of 21st century could only be tackled through spread of technology based on computer and electronic communication.

She advised the girls to work hard to acquire the skill so that they could be useful for themselves and for the country as well. Women’s law was a great achievement, she added.

She praised the NCHD for establishing the CTLC and for initiating school health programme, which had so far screened primary school children for various diseases and provided eyeglasses to 450 children and treatment to 1,000 others.

NCHD District Manager Imtiaz Bhatti said that the centre had produced 200 women and 20 men graduates. Of 200 women, 42 had landed jobs in different organisations, he said.

He demanded that the district government should release funds for opening more CTLC branches in all the taluka of the district. District Naib Nazim Aziz Dero and DCO Aftab Ahmed Khatri also spoke at the ceremony.
