Women Physicians of Association of Pakistani Physicians of North America strongly condemns the human rights abuse and violations experienced by the people of Pakistan.
Women Physicians of Association of Pakistani Physicians of North America strongly condemns the human rights abuse and violations experienced by the people of Pakistan. We firmly believe that every individual in a civilized society has the inherent right to a fair trial and access to legal representation while in custody. It is essential that individuals awaiting due process are treated with respect and there should be no tolerance for abuse and human rights violations.The safety and protection of the fundamental rights of women, men and children must be ensured and maintaining law and order is crucial. We call upon the international community to engage in safeguarding human rights in Pakistan and assist in restoring stability to Pakistan. The US lawmakers are being duly informed on the current situation in Pakistan
In particular we condemn the acts of violence and sexual persecution directed towards women in custody. It is imperative that these women are treated with human dignity and respect.
We urge the Pakistani government to address these violations and abuse and put an end to such irregularities.

President’s Message
I am entrusted with this responsibility for the period 2022-2023. I am grateful to Marium Husain for leading WAPPNA in her usual dynamic style for the last 2 years. WAPPNA has flourished under her tenure. The pandemic has damaged our events since 2020, but we were able to start our mental health awareness program at the end of last year. We shall continue this theme for this year as well as there is an enormous need. The incidence of depression has increased many folds, particularly with the advent of Covid 19, and our South Asian community is no exception. We are fortunate to have excellent advocates leading the path toward this end. WAPPNA is always looking to add new members as the organization is as vibrant as its members. Our vision continues to support women’s empowerment, social justice, and mental and physical health awareness. We, as physicians, owe it to ourselves and the society at large.
