In a letter to the CJP, the NCSW chairperson appealed for immediate and effective measures to reduce gender-based violence.
Bakhtiar emphasised the need to protect the lives of the victims of these atrocities, mentioning incidents like the murder of Noor Muqaddam as a serious concern for women's safety and well-being in Pakistan.
