“In honour of the #16Days campaign and Ms Baig’s work as the head of the Police Services of Pakistan’s Gender Protection Unit – a government initiative to assist women and transgender individuals in their fight against gender-based violence and other injustice, the reception highlighted Ms Baig’s efforts to help the women of Pakistan,” said the US mission in Pakistan.
