Newly elected Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has said the safety of women in the province was her first priority. “Therefore, I am announcing a dedicated helpline for women,” she said.

She said women would also be provided proper facilities, including separate washrooms and daycare centres, at workplaces.

“Harassing any woman is Maryam Nawaz’s red line,” she affirmed.

CM Maryam also lauded Gulber Circle ASP Shehr Bano for protecting the life of a teenage girl wearing a dress with Arabic calligraphy printed on it from an attack by a charged mob in Lahore yesterday.
