Minister for Poverty Alleviation and Social Safety Shazia Marri has said Benazir Income Support Programme is an effective vehicle of social safety that is supporting women folks by providing cash assistance to them.

Talking to a delegation of Yemen’s Social Fund for Development on Sunday, she said Benazir Income Support Programme has become an agent of change as it is the most practical method of women empowerment and their financial autonomy.

She said our survey and registration process has encouraged women with low-income household and living in remote areas to register themselves and their families with the NADRA.
