ISLAMABAD, (MILLAT ONLINE):The members of National Commission on the Status of Women (NCSW) and Provincial Commissions of Status of Women (PCSWs) have called for door-to-door registration of women voters before election-2018.

An official of NCSW said the issue was discussed in a meeting of members of NCSW while Chairpersons of PCSWs were also present in the meeting.
The members gave their feedback on issues related to women protection and empowerment and quick response mechanism for survivors and under-threat women and girls, she told APP.
They also discussed complaint handling, documentation systems and follow-up mechanisms followed by the national and provincial commissions.
The PCSW Chairpersons briefed the meeting about the issues they face due to lack of financial and human resources.
The members were of the opinion that provinces are progressing in terms of women related legislation and its implementation but this progress is not recognized.
They said it is a fact that there are gaps at the implementation level and collaborative efforts are required to fill these gaps but there is an equal need to appreciate the positive work but it can be sorted out through collaborative efforts.
