He made it clear that women remained integral part of PTI’s 22 year-long political struggle and they deserved equal credit for making PTI the most formidable political force of the country. On this occasion, Kazmi said that PTI has always strongly encouraged women to participate in the political process and give them a dignified position in the politics. He said that PTI has played a critical role in giving the women of Pakistan their political voice and will always support women empowerment unlike other political parties who have always failed to fulfil their promises to protect economic and social rights of women of Pakistan. He said that PTI will provide all possible opportunities being the ruling party and it has already given women their due rights imminent from the fact that projects like Kamyab Jawan and Hunarmand Pakistan have set a quota for women.
