Islamabad: The National Assembly on Tuesday passed “The Prevention of Anti-Women Practices Bill 2008” aimed at prohibiting certain practices leading to exploitation and discrimination against womenfolk.
The Prevention of Anti-Women Practices (Criminal Law Amendment Bill, 2008) was recommended for approval by the Standing Committee of National Assembly concerned.
Speaker Dr Fahmida Mirza had deferred the bill during the last session as a number of suggestions were floated for incorporation in the bill by the parliamentarians.
The bill moved by Dr Donya Aziz was pending since 2008.
