PCSW piloted the Women in Leadership Project in December 2016, to facilitate
implementation of the Punjab Women’s Empowerment Package 2012, and the Punjab
Fair Representation of Women Act by ensuring 33% representation of women on all
Boards of Statutory Organizations, Public Sector Companies, Special Purpose Taskforces
and Committees. The objectives of this initiative include fulfillment of 33% quota
of women’s representation on all public entities, empowerment of women through
leadership trainings and regular mentoring activities, placement of 33% women in
at least 15% Boards of Statutory Organizations, Public Sector Companies, and Special
Purpose Taskforces and Committees, development of a comprehensive database developed
that includes information on all public sector entities in Punjab, and improving
access to opportunities for recruitment and induction of candidates through networking
opportunities with Government Departments and Statutory entities.
