These were the findings of a report by the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan’s (HRCP) which compared manifestoes of political parties on human rights. The report was shared during a consultation organised by the HRCP at a local hotel in the capital on Monday. The event was held to assess the extent to which political party manifestos incorporate fundamental rights in Pakistan, and how this scope can be increased. For highlighting issues of women, the ANP was at the top, with the PPP second and the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) in third. Other parties which made a mention of child rights in their manifestos include the ANP and the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM).
