The minority Sikh women in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, hit hard by anti-terror operations in the country's tribal areas, will get vocational training as part of an attempt by a women's commission to improve their quality of life, an official said today.
The Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Commission on Status of Women has decided to set up vocational training centres in parts of the province to provide education and financial assistance to the women belonging to Sikh community in Peshawar, Rubina Masih, a member of the Commission, said.
The Commission has sought help from the KP Department of Social Welfare, saying "the women from the minority community were facing a lot of problems, both in terms of finances and education."
