Sindh government to set up shelter homes for women

KARACHI - Sindh Minister for Women Development, Tauqir Fatima Bhutto, has said that shelter homes for women will be set up next month in Sindh in Darul Amaans.

She said that these shelter homes were the replica of Islamabad Women Centre which was being adopted in Sindh for providing protection and security to the needy women.

Talking to The Nation, she pointed out that previously there was no such facility in the existing Darul Amaan in Sindh. “There are three crisis centres (Darul Amaans) in the province but none has the facility of shelter home.”
