Underlining that constitution has guaranteed many rights and powers for women, Justice Gulzar said that women should be provided with all rights, according to Geo News. "Not only should women be given representation everywhere but all their rights should also be protected," Justice Gulzar added. Emphasising that women are the lifeline of society, he said: "The well-being of women leads to the well-being of the whole nation." He was speaking during an inaugural ceremony of the Pink Ribbon Hospital, the first-ever fully dedicated breast cancer facility in Pakistan, reported Geo News.
