Safety is not an afterthought, rather, it is the very foundation of justice. As part of FOSPAH’s 16 Days of Activism campaign, Federal Ombudsperson Fauzia Viqar carried this message to Quetta, where she led a powerful dialogue with Justice Muhammad Aamir Nawaz Rana. Their exchange went beyond policy; it was a call to re-imagine institutions as spaces where women’s dignity is protected and their voices amplified

This session highlighted the urgency of building gender-sensitive environments that do not merely respond to injustice but actively prevent it. By centering survivor-focused policies, FOSPAH reaffirmed that equality cannot exist without safety, and safety cannot exist without accountability.
