The role of administration in protection of women against violence
(UMT, Lahore, 2020) Muhammad Hamza Yusuf
Empowerment is the process of becoming resilient and more self-reliant, especially in managing one's life and claiming one's rights. Empowerment provides equal platform to all individuals regardless of caste, color, gender, religion and culture and it is a prerequisite to growth and prosperity that the state must provide equal rights to all the citizens. Pakistan is ranked at 151 out of 153 countries on Global Gender Parity Index 2020 by World Economic Forum (WEF). In Pakistan, there is no freedom of speech, and the state apparatus is used to oppress people’s voices. Pakistan has experimented with both military and civil regimes but all of these failed to provide an equal status to men and women. The society remains patriarchal where women are forced to work in positions subservient to men (regardless of their qualification), receive lower wages, and even perform bonded labor in many cases, in addition to being abused and victimized by men. The society rationalizes the victimization of women by using symbols of power and honor. This study explores multiple means to pull women out of oppression and subservience to men and to recommend ways to raise their status through empowerment. The papers aims to achieve this by analyzing the legal channels and examining judicial cases, legal contests, and incidents involving victimization of women and providing a positive way forward.

(UMT, Lahore, 2020) Aftab Hashim
This research paper aims to explain existing problems in Disaster Risk Management authority in Pakistan and presents a proposal to introduce better Disaster Risk Management (DRM) and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) systems. This research paper is not an empirical research; in fact, it is an analysis of existing practices and available literature. In the past few years, Pakistan became a vulnerable place just because of the absence of proper disaster risk management system. Failure of disaster risk management authorities in Pakistan caused a small-scale hazard and disaster resulting in massive destruction of assets of the masses and a large number of people getting affected by disaster and related incidents. The Pakistan government has been allocating at least Rs. 30 million annually for disaster risk management apart from foreign aid for coping with the disasters. The quality and coverage of the services of Disaster Risk Management authorities in Pakistan are still insufficient. Surveys and literatures have shown that more than 71 million people have been affected by disaster related incidents since 1990. This is because DRM authorities in Pakistan have not developed preventive or precautionary plans mainly because they lack in appropriate expertise in DRM techniques. Considering this, this paper presents a detailed academic/technical proposal for DRM. This research paper will introduce the idea of promoting and propagating Disaster Risk Management (DRM) topics among the public to make the people aware about the role of DRM authorities in Pakistan. The paper also recommends certain useful approaches to make the Disaster Risk Management authorities more effective
