QUETTA: Strengthening Participatory Organization’s Programme Officer Hashim Marri expressing concern over the increasing incidents of child abuse and women rights violation in Balochistan called for initiating mass awareness drive to cop with the alarming situation more effectively.

Talking to media men here on Friday, he said that SPO in collaboration with the local NGOs has launched awareness programme in parts of Balochistan to minimize the gross human rights violation.

He noted that comprehensive awareness program aimed at sensitize masses about their defined rights would bring about positive changes in the overall behaviors of the society.

He said that efforts were afoot to make drive a success through the capacity building of NGOs working in rural and urban areas of the province.

"The practice of gender discriminations, child abuses and other kinds of human rights violation reported from across the country was tarnishing the image of Pakistan" he said adding we are working on a line to sensitize an ordinary citizen about his rights which is enshrined by the Constitution of Pakistan.
