NCHR expresses concern over reports of possible extraordinary measures in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. While recognising the grave threat of terrorism & Government’s duty to protect citizens, NCHR emphasises that all security measures must respect democratic processes & fundamental rights
The abysmal lack of systems and sops. And the most vulnerable are paying the price. Again and again.
There has been criminal negligence in this case & if there is no independent inquiry and if those responsible are not prosecuted then it will be a big failure of the state.This was not just a terrible accident but criminal negligence of PIMS staff which led to the death of 14 innocent newborns in the most horrific way which has stunned a nation .

Over the years I have posted about countless crimes against women, the hashtags, the horrors - today I’m posting because my cousin Hina Javed was murdered in her in-laws home yesterday. She’d been married less than 10 months. Pray for her, pray for justice. Demand justice.

EU’s recognition of National Commission for Human Rights as an important institution advancing Pakistan’s human rights obligations is an encouraging acknowledgment of progress being made. NCHR remains committed to strengthening rights protections. @RabiyaJaveri @EUPakistan @MoCommercePk

Hon Justice Ayesha Malik: "Are we talking to our children? Bringing their opinions into the room?" Mindset prevails - hence perspectives of children necessary to undo child labour. "They should be heard laughing." #EndChildLabour @RabiyaJaveri
Thank you Sarwat for always standing up for Child Rights and raising your voice on such an important issue.

On World Day Against Child Labour, NCHR notes with concern that 8.61 million children in Pakistan are trapped in child labour, while 6.61 million are engaged in hazardous work. Behind every statistic is a child whose rights, education and future are at risk. #EndChildLabour @UNICEF_Pakistan

Today, NCHR launches Caged in Care — a stark look into the abuse, neglect, and unlawful confinement hidden behind the walls of rehabilitation and mental health facilities in Pakistan. Care cannot come at the cost of dignity, consent, and human rights. #CagedinCare @RabiyaJaveri

Nearly 1 in 6 girls are married before 18 yrs with an estimated 19 million child brides. This law is welcome news that can protect womens futures. Early marriage means lost education, poor health, and cycles of poverty
Punjab takes a historic step for child protection. The Child Marriage Restraint Bill 2026 sets 18 as the minimum age for marriage for all. NCHR welcomes this progress and urges strict implementation. Every child has the right to a safe and complete childhood. @RabiyaJaveri

The @nchrofficial, in partnership with #UNDPinPakistan and financed by @EUPakistan 🇪🇺, convened an end-of-term event to reflect on four years of impact — from strengthening protections for women, minorities, prisoners, and other marginalized groups to achieving A-status accreditation by @Ganhri1.
Speaking at the event, UNDP RR Dr. @SamuelRizk commended NCHR for setting a high standard of transparency. “NCHR has shown that human rights work is not just an office to hold or a job to do — it is a conscientious commitment,” he said, while highlighting the importance of continuity to sustain the progress made over the past years.
