00:00 My name is Aiza Zaheer and I am a BS Media student and I used to be an OPS student as well.
00:08 OPS?
00:09 Yeah.
00:10 My question is regarding BNZ income support program.
00:14 My question is that you provide funding to people.
00:21 So why not provide them skills or a medium?
00:25 If you provide them funds, they get dependent on it.
00:30 Because you know, Pakistani people are dependent on it.
00:33 So you are making people beggars by providing them cash.
00:37 No, I am saying that they are dependent on it and they will wait for the income.
00:40 They are not working on their own.
00:43 Let me explain this again.
00:44 Do you know that there is a similar program in other countries as well?
00:49 No, I am not aware.
00:50 I think there is one in Brazil as well.
00:52 That is why I am saying that.
00:55 Anyway, you explain.
00:56 Who came first?
00:57 Yes, in Brazil.
00:59 No, but you explain.
01:00 So thank you.
01:01 Your question is very good.
01:02 So the BNZ income support program is the first social safety net in Pakistan.
01:07 And now it is not only in our country, but it has become a gold standard regionally.
01:13 From Egypt to the Philippines, the international financial institutions,
01:20 social security, cash transfer programs, they adopt this model.
01:27 There are two things in this.
01:30 Not only are we providing financial aid to the government in poverty and in inflation,
01:38 but we are also supporting women empowerment.
01:47 When you talk about women empowerment in Pakistan,
01:54 the late Respected Benazir Bhutto said that she believes that a woman cannot be truly empowered
02:00 unless she is economically empowered.
02:03 And you can see what kind of revolution took place throughout Pakistan.
02:10 From Gilgit-Baltistan in Pakistan to the tribal areas of the former Fatwa,
02:16 from Balochistan to the tribal districts of southern Punjab and northern Sindh,
02:24 these women received this bank card and this financial aid.
02:31 It has not only empowered them, but it has also empowered our women.
02:38 Because of this support, there are different examples where they not only help themselves
02:46 to get out of the line of poverty, but also help others to get out of poverty.
02:54 Because it supplements them.
02:57 Because of this support, they were able to educate their children.
03:03 Because of this support, they are able to survive.
03:08 But you are absolutely right, it was never just meant to be the Benazir Income Support Program.
03:13 This should continue, but at the same time, we introduced the right means,
03:22 the means of employment, the means of education, the means of health.
03:27 And this should have been implemented together.
03:30 The means of employment is the free loan,
03:34 which we give to these women so that they can start their business economically
03:40 and empower them economically.
03:44 The means of employment was an offshoot of this,
03:48 so that the skills that you are talking about,
03:53 they can use those skills so that they can work, or employ.
03:59 So in this way, our thought about the Benazir Income Support Program
04:04 was a comprehensive poverty alleviation program.
04:08 The cash transfer poverty alleviation and women's empowerment plan was very successful.
04:17 But the governments that came after this, the remaining portions,
04:22 they were not supported in that way.
04:25 I have pledged in my manifesto that we will not only increase it,
04:29 but all the plans that were to be implemented to combat poverty,
04:35 which have been targeted at women, we will also implement them.
