Karachi, 02 June 2025 : Sindh Senior Minister and Provincial Minister for Information, Transport, and Mass Transit Sharjeel Inam Memon stated that the Sindh government is taking comprehensive measures to empower women. He emphasized that the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) has always advocated for women’s rights. He highlighted that Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto took historic initiatives such as establishing the First Women’s Bank, setting up Women’s Police Stations, and distributing land to landless women farmers.
A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between the Sindh Mass Transit Authority (SMTA) and the renowned international food chain KFC at a local hotel in Karachi.

Addressing the ceremony, Sindh Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon stated that former President Asif Ali Zardari launched the country’s largest income support program, which provided financial assistance to millions of women. He added that during the PPP’s tenure, women were issued national identity cards and granted the right to vote.He stated that Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari pledged to rebuild two million houses destroyed in the recent floods, with ownership rights being granted to women.
