National Commission on the Status of Women 2014 ANNUAL REPORT

Our work is challenging at any given time especially to institutionalize, track progress, monitor
and implement pro women laws and policies to ensure the protection and promotion of women's rights.
But 2014 was important for us from a key perspective there was encouraging movement in
women-friendly legislation across the country. In Punjab, Sindh and Baluchistan, women's rights
gained a stronger foothold with the legislation on early marriages and domestic violence. Similarly
the anti-rape bill tabled in the Senate was a milestone towards ensuring that women do not face
additional hardship in the processes of law. The Vision 2025, was launched the same year and
indicates the government's commitment towards women's empowerment and development.
