17th December: Balochistan’s first female cop, Pari Gul Tareen establishes a special desk to encourage women to report abuse. She has fought against all odds in her province and finally, last month, she was designated as assistant superintendent of police in Quetta.
Pari has fought all her life for education, and later her place in the police force. She knows better what women need in her region and she is giving them exactly that: a female front desk at the Bijli Police Station in Quetta. Her goal was to stand up for the rights of women and she has started her journey by taking this first step.
