She said the Benazir Income Support Programme was striving to translate the vision of a welfare-oriented society into reality by providing economic support and opportunities to women, enabling them to lead dignified lives.<\/p>\n
Senator Rubina Khalid emphasised that economically empowered women and equal opportunities for their advancement were fundamental to building a strong and self-reliant Pakistan.<\/p>\n
