#Pakistan faced one of the biggest refugee crises in the world after independence in 1947. Estimates range that more than 10 million people were displaced after Partition. Fatima Jinnah set up a Women’s Relief Committee (WRF) that catered to refugees coming into Pak.#WomenDay2023 Image
Two years later, in 1949, the committee evolved into the All Pakistan Women’s Association (APWA) under Begum Ra’ana Liaquat Ali Khan as its founder. Image
APWA’s focus was on women’s social welfare, including girls’ education, health, and income generation opportunities. Being an apolitical org, APWA worked with civilian and military governments to achieve its goals, such as building schools, colleges & health facilities for women.

In the first Pakistani legislative assembly (Aug. 10, 1947, to Oct. 24, 1954), for example, women acquired 3% of the total seats (the number of total seats was 30, and women acquired 2 of these).
During the period from 1947 to 1956, there was no office of the president.

The head of state was the governor-general. During this second (lasting from May 02, 1955, to Oct. 07, 1958) women had 0% representation (the total number of seats was 80 and women acquired 0 seats).

Dr. Ishrat Hussain, in his book, Governing the Ungovernable, shines a spotlight on the institution of the civil service in its historical perspective. The importance of this institution both as a catalyst & as a constraining influence in the sphere of governance cannot be denied.
Modern management practices with well-laid-out performance indicators can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the state apparatus.
While focusing on civil-military relations and the judiciary, Dr Ishrat believes that each institution should stay within its bounds. He does not subscribe to the practice of seeking the military’s assistance on different matters at the drop of a hat.
