So far, Sindh is leading the country in terms of gender parity. Just recently, they appointed Ayesha Abro as Deputy Commissioner of Hyderabad. While in January, Suman Kumari from Sindh became the country’s first Hindu woman to take charge as a civil judge after passing a competitive examination.

Kumari, of Qambar-Shahdadkot, was posted in her native district.
