Kachay Ka Daku | Hundreds of Illegal SIMs Blocked to Stop Them From Communicating

#fafen #generalelection2024 #womenempowerment Free and Fair Election Network (FAFEN) has released a report on Women in Elections, which analyzes women’s participation in the General Elections (GE) 2024. The event, organized as part of FAFEN’s International Human Rights Day celebrations and the culmination of the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, brought together sitting and former women parliamentarians from the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz, Pakistan Peoples Party Parliamentarians, Jamaat-e-Islami, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Pakistan, and Qaumi Watan Party, along with representatives from other political parties, civil society, election experts, and journalists. The participants stressed upon the urgent need for comprehensive electoral reforms ahead of the next general elections to enhance women's participation as voters and candidates while emphasizing the importance of promoting intra-party democracy to ensure women’s meaningful participation in political and electoral processes. FAFEN National Council member Ms. Anbreen Ajaib highlighted the urgency of electoral reforms to ensure gender parity, noting that while the narrowing gender deficit is a promising development, significant work remains to achieve equitable representation for women in the political sphere. Ms. Kanwal Mehmood, Assistant Manager, presented the report’s findings, which showcased a significant rise in women’s participation as voters, polling staff, and candidates. She revealed that women cast 24.4 million of the 58.9 million total votes in GE-2024, reflecting an increase of 2.7 million compared to GE-2018, nearly double the increase observed in votes cast by men, which rose by 1.6 million. Additionally, the number of female candidates contesting GE-2024 nearly doubled compared to GE-2018, driven largely by a notable surge in independent female candidates. The report emphasizes prioritizing women voter registration in constituencies where the gender gap in electoral rolls still exceeds 10 percent, while advocating for a reduced threshold of five percent in constituencies where the gap has already fallen below 10 percent.

Women Vote More in 2024 General Election as Compared to General Election 2018

#fafen #generalelection2024 #pakistannews The Free and Fair Election Network (FAFEN) released on Sunday a detailed analysis of voters’ participation in the General Election 2024 (GE-2024) as part of its celebration of National Voters Day. The report, titled ‘GE-2024: Brief on Assessing Demographic and Gender Turnout Dynamics,’ provides an in-depth review of voter trends, including male and female participation, and draws comparisons with the previous general elections. As many as 61,282,920 voters cast their ballots during GE-2024, which is the highest ever number of voters turning out to vote in any general election. Notwithstanding the highest-ever number of voters, the turnout dropped to 48 percent, as compared to 52 percent in 2018 as there was an unprecedented increase of 22.5 million voters in electoral rolls between the two elections. Among many other firsts, the GE-2024 saw the registration of women voters surpassing that of men between 2018 and 2024. Among 22.5 million new voters, 12.5 million were women and 10 million men. This has led to narrowing down the gender gap on voter registration. Although the women’s turnout remained low (42.7 percent) than men’s turnout (51.8 percent), the gap between their turnouts narrowed from 10 percentage points in GE-2018 to nine percentage points in GE-2024. The report also highlights a considerably higher voter turnout in predominantly rural constituencies (50.1 percent) as compared to largely urban constituencies (43.8 percent). Nearly twice as many voters from rural areas (40.6 million) cast their ballots compared to urban areas (20.5 million). Reiterating its commitment to contributing to a more inclusive and participatory electoral process, FAFEN stresses the need for continuation of efforts to include all eligible voters specifically women and those belonging to marginalized sections of society, and voter education and mobilization efforts directed towards areas reporting lower voter turnout.
