Congratulations in order! The NA of Pakistan has passed the ICT Child Marriages Restraint Bill 2025, raising the minimum marriageable age to 18 years. The Bill is a significant milestone, and it's hoped that the Senate will also pass it within the stipulated timeframe. #AawazII

The Federal Shariat Court upheld Sindh ChildMarriage Restraint Act 2013, ruling that setting minimum age for marriage at 18 is in accordance with Islamic injunctions. A landmark judgment in March 2023. Why this hue & cry now? #EndChildMarriage #ChildRights tribune.com.pk/story/2404684/…

Salute to Captain Ahmad Butt & the #PakistanHockey Team for reaching the finals! It's heartbreaking that national sport has been neglected for so long. It's not the way to treat a hero like this. If true - those in charge should be asked. Lets give hockey the support it deserves!

Outrageous! Arresting a 7-year-old child in Gwadar #Balochistan is a blatant disregard for #ChildRights &the Juvenile Justice System Act2018. Section 82-83 of PPC clearly states children under 14 aren’t criminally responsible. Let's uphold justice & protect our children's rights!
