Pakistan calls for FOCUSED efforts to cope with conflicts, Climate Change to achieve Gender Equality<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

United Nations<\/strong><\/p>\n

A senior Pakistani Official has urged \u201cFocused\u201d efforts on part of the world community, Governmental and Individuals in dealing with emergencies ranging from conflicts to \u201cClimate Change\u201d which, she said, \u201cdisproportionately affect the lives of women of women and girls\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrioritizing gender-responsive interventions, increasing women\u2019s participation in decision-making, addressing violence against women, investing in women\u2019s economic empowerment, and collecting sex-disaggregated data are key strategies to get back on track towards gender equality,\u201d Nilofar Bakhtiar, Chairperson of the National Commission on the Status of Women, told a panel discussion at the 67th session of the Commission on the Status of Women.<\/p>\n

Participating in an interactive dialogue, \u2018Getting back on track: Achieving gender equality in a context of overlapping emergencies\u2019, Ms Bakhtiar said although climate change affected everyone, but women and girls bore the brunt, citing Pakistan where \u201cbetween 50 to 80 percent of women are food producers and 70 percent of them manage livestock\u201d.<\/p>\n

The recent floods, she said, had affected more than 33 million people in Pakistan, half of them were women and girls, millions still remained in need of immediate humanitarian assistance and more than 1.6 million were women of reproductive age, with thousands of pregnant women in need of urgent health services.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe express concern that the Pakistan Floods Response Plan is only 36% funded more than halfway through its 9-month duration\u201d.<\/p>\n

The National Commission on the Status of Women, she said, remained committed to promote and protect rights of women and girls amidst the looming threats posed by Climate Change.<\/p>\n

The action plan coming out of Pakistan\u2019s climate change national report 2022 was implemented during the flood disaster, Ms Bakhtiar told delegates. \u201cNow we are ready with our report on digitalization based on four areas \u2013 communication, financial inclusion, online learning tools and gender-based violence.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe strongly believe that the fight against Climate Change emergency shall not be won without truly achieving women empowerment and mobilizing the political will and necessary to take critical decisions\u201d, MS Bakhtiar said in conclusion.<\/p>\n
