QUETTA: Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti hailed the inauguration of the province’s first-ever working women’s hostel in Khuzdar, calling it a landmark step toward empowering women in the region.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the Chief Minister praised Dr. Rubaba Khan Buledi, Adviser for Women Development, for leading the initiative. He described it as “a practical and meaningful effort to support the sisters and daughters of Balochistan who are pursuing professional careers away from home.”

CM Bugti stressed that the hostel represents more than just a shelter—it embodies confidence, dignity, and hope for working women.
“This is the kind of approach that defines true women’s empowerment,” he added, reaffirming his government’s commitment to creating an inclusive and supportive environment for women to play an active role in Balochistan’s socio-economic development.
The hostel provides secure and affordable accommodation with essential amenities, addressing a long-standing demand for safe housing in the traditionally conservative province. Officials expect the facility to significantly increase women’s participation in the formal workforce.
