Karachi : The Federal Ombudsman Secretariat for Protection against Harassment (FOSPAH) reaffirms its commitment to combat workplace harassment under the leadership of Regional Head Ms. Sabika Shah at the Regional office, Sindh. FOSPAH actively works towards creating awareness and fostering a culture of zero tolerance for harassment nationwide.
As part of its ongoing initiatives, FOSPAH collaborated with Sir Syed University for a painting competition to engage and empower the younger generation to be advocates for change.
