Sir: No doubt over the past several years people have become vocal about women’s and children’s rights. But the resources- and revenue-rich provinces like Sindh and Balochistan have yet to see the light of day on these issues. Childhood marriages are common in these provinces. Women are sexually harassed, killed in the name of honour and sacrificed to settle scores between tribes. It is time to carry out strong action against these crimes. Hashim Abro Islamabad
