Islamabad

National Police Bureau (NPB) is committed to increase the recruitment, retention and promotion of women in police by adopting the principles of gender just policing.

This was reiterated by the NPB Director General Iqbal Mehmood Khan while addressing the Board of Directors of Women Police Forum (WPF) on Wednesday.

Hosted by NPB, the event was attended by the women members from all provinces, GB, AJK and Islamabad Capital Territory. They shared their concerns and challenges in a resource constraint environment and need for a gender policy.

WPF also developed its next quarter’s plan that revolves around key activities like social media advocacy, data collection on gender sensitive indicators and creating a mentor’s forum to enhance their own skills and promote gender responsive policing. These activities will be implemented with Gender Crime Cell and the gender team of the phase III of gender responsive policing.
