Senator Azam Nazeer Tarar, Federal Minister for Human Rights, marked the International Day of the Girl Child 2025 by celebrating the courage and leadership of girls who are shaping Pakistan’s future. He drew attention to this year’s theme, The Girl I Am, The Change I Lead, saying it underlines the active role girls play as drivers of social and economic progress.
The minister reiterated that, under the leadership of Prime Minister Mian Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif, the Government of Pakistan remains committed to empowering girls through targeted efforts in education, health, protection and equal opportunities. Strengthening these areas, he said, is essential to nurture girls leadership and help young women assume meaningful roles in their communities.
Senator Tarar called on institutions and citizens to reaffirm their resolve to build a Pakistan where every girl is safe, valued and able to lead with confidence and dignity. He emphasised that investment in girls is an investment in national resilience and inclusive development.
As the country observes the International Day of the Girl, the message is clear: supporting girls leadership through concrete measures in schooling, health services and legal protection will accelerate Pakistan’s progress and uphold fundamental human rights.
