One of the significant landmark achievements by the women parliamentarians of Pakistan has been the establishment of the Parliamentary Women‟s Caucus (WPC) under the able leadership of former Speaker National Assembly Dr. Fehmida Mirza, who was also the first ever woman Speaker of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) region and within the democratic Muslim world. Launched in November of 2008, the Caucus continues to provide a catalytic forum to the women parliamentarians from both Houses of the Parliament to freely raise, discuss, and address issues affecting the lives of the citizenry of the country, especially the women.
