The Chairperson of the National Commission on the Rights of the Child (NCRC) extended warm congratulations to the newly appointed Human Rights Secretary and formally welcomed him to the commission. The Chairperson provided a comprehensive briefing on the NCRC’s mandate, its core functions, notable achievements and ongoing initiatives focused on protecting and promoting the rights of children across Pakistan.
Discussion during the meeting centred on practical steps to strengthen institutional coordination between the NCRC and the Ministry of Human Rights (MoHR). Both sides explored how improved collaboration can bolster policy advocacy and support effective implementation of child protection mechanisms at federal and provincial levels, ensuring that policy commitments translate into measurable action on the ground.
Emphasis was placed on aligning efforts to enhance child protection systems, improve monitoring and scale up initiatives that directly benefit vulnerable children. The Human Rights Secretary and NCRC leadership exchanged views on priority areas for joint work and methods to synchronize advocacy and implementation across jurisdictions.
Both parties reaffirmed a shared commitment to advancing the child rights agenda and pledged to work together to create a safer, more inclusive and rights-based environment for every child in Pakistan. The meeting underscored the importance of sustained partnership between the Human Rights Secretary and NCRC to drive progress in child protection and policy reform.
