To help citizens report their missing children in time, the Ministry of Human Rights in collaboration with Pakistan Citizens Portal (Prime Minister’s Performance Delivery Unit (PMDU), launched the Zainab Alert App nationwide on Thursday.
To mark the moment, a special event was held in Islamabad which was attended by Shireen Mazari, Minister of Human Rights and Asad Umer, the Minister for Planning and Development.
Shireen Mazari mentioned that the previous government had already started working on the alert known as “mera bacha” (my child) upon the prime minister’s portal, however, it was never brought to completion. The government had recognised the seriousness of the issue of rising child rape cases in Pakistan, and it was one of the focal priority areas.
