Hostels for women

Published

MANY women come to Karachi for work but don’t find a decent place to live. They have to bear huge costs for flats and apartments which are not very secure for them. Many girls from interior Sindh, KP, Punjab and Balochistan come to work and study in this metropolis.

There are very few decent, safe and reasonable places available. The government should take steps to provide decent accommodation such as hostels, with a secure environment and affordable rents.
