Err hello @PakistanBar have all the women lawyers moved to #Venus that men from #Mars have taken to defend the freedoms? In a country that boasted of #AsmaJahangir? You couldn't find a single female lawyer to be included in this Committee which has been set up for a good purpose? Image
If the women lawyers were approached by the @PakistanBar and they didn't sign on then I shall be the first to apologise for this tweet and will take it down ... Were they asked ? What were the reasons for refusal... I am aware this sign up is voluntary

Dr. @gilanius thank you for your seller work by bringing the #Balochistan #mangroves within mapping. Their declaration as #ProtectedForests is also an acknowledgement of the miracle that late #BabaeMangroves Tahir Qureshi wrought in places where they never existed.
It would now be in the fitness of things if #mianiHor & Shadikaur in Gwadar should be dedicated to him. How about it @BalochistanFor1 If not now then when! Isn't it great to see this @rahimgwd @RafiulH87658231 finally? Something to toot the horn about! @sherryrehman @aminattock

Hallelujah! Local NGOs allowed to help flood-hit families! After decimating the development sector & civil society organizations through a witch hunt, reregistration, EAD quagmire, suddenly when faced with the calamity they realize their importance! dawn.com/news/1704798
These organizations lost their donor connections, donors turned away from Pakistan, rather than jump through the bureaucratic hoops, & now the organizations with the human resource, capacity, experience of working in such disasters have no resources. Are now working in isolation
In 2010, there was district govt. which held DCC where all actors were present; local politicians, military focal persons, line dept. reps. INGOs, NGOs, CSOs, even LSOs & shared locations & interventions to avoid duplication. @UNOCHA was the overarching umbrella to coordinate

True to form as a late lateef, as there are still few mins to go before #WorldOceansDay ends on this earth let me share my pet peeves by replugging old unresolved but doable issues! Bear with me @sherryrehman @hnaqikhan @HqPmsa @IndusEarthTrust @dgprPaknavy @aminattock @dpr_gob
#Pakistan is signatory of #CBD. #Aichi targets mandate declaring 10% of coast as #MarineProtectedArea. Under @mangrovesforfuture a #NationalCoordinatingBody of stakeholders was formed & finally in 2017 #Astola isl. was decl. as the 1st. #MPA
google.com/amp/s/www.then… @sherryrehman
In 2018 a workshop was held by @IUCN to develop a management plan for #Astola. Since then..ZILCH! It is 2022. Status in limbo. Is it to be 'low take' or 'no take'? If former, which level of 'take' or activity is permitted. If latter, what alternatives for beneficiaries @dpr_gob ?

Thank you @UNFPAPakistan for the honour of asking me to moderate the #WDD @SindhGovt1 seminar on the occasion of #IWD2022 titled
'Gender Equality Today for a Sustainable Tomorrow' @SyedaShehlaRaza @bayramgul_unfpa
It allowed me to point out some important work at policy level to mainstream #Gender issues, like #ccGap document by #IUCN Pakistan & @MoCC with @theGCF readiness support to work in tandem with National #ClimateChangePolicy by highlighting interventions in 6 priority sectors
Progress was narrated by #WDD rep. on #genderfriendly new laws, & amend. in existing laws is heartening. Look forward to their wide implementation. Also about measures about safety of women & safe houses like DarulAman @SyedaShehlaRaza @UNFPAPakistan @bayramgul_unfpa @SCSWPK

Other than everything else wrong with this ad. Why is there an assumption that only HE can do the job? Why are ads only for Men? Especially those whose experience of Marine ecology is zilch! This is a deliberately confrontational route being taken through #PIDA. #SaveOurIslands Image
Why are #PresidentialOrdinances being issued. Why are there Assemblies. What is the urgency in 'developing' these islands, bulldozing the wishes of the inhabitants. Why is the @SindhGovt1 not responding to concerns, reservations & protests of civil society. #SaveOurIslands
The fragile coast has already been vandalized by commercial greed. ENOUGH! We are a #ClimateChange vulnerable country. @WWFPak & #IUCN Pakistan had already expressed reservations in the past when #Bundal island 'development' was planned. Why are they being ignored #SaveOurIslands
