Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Gulzar Ahmed distributed motorbikes among women lawyers on Friday. While giving out the motorcycle-driving training to women lawyers, the CJP encouraged women to ride the bikes adding that this was a good start and that he hoped this practice will continue. He also advised women lawyers to avoid talking during motorcycle-riding.
Addressing a motorbike distribution ceremony at the Sindh High Court Bar Association, the CJP appreciated the bar association’s efforts for providing a motorbike-driving training opportunity to women advocates.
He said that although motorbike-riding was dangerous, it was the responsibility of the trainers as well as of women motorbike riders to drive safely and ensure that they did not meet with an accident.
He said women lawyers kept on talking during the programme and advised them to curb their habit of talking during motorcycle-riding.
Sindh High Court Chief Justice Ahmed Ali M Sheikh also appreciated the SHCBA and senior lawyers for making arrangements to award motorbikes and training to the women lawyers.
Salman Sufi, head of Salman Sufi foundation, said that his organisation had given motorbike-riding training to as many as 15,000 women since 2016, and have set a target that his organisation would provide training to 500,000 women by 2025.
