KARACHI — The Sindh government is preparing to roll out the second phase of its Pink Scooty Scheme, a program aimed at promoting safe and independent mobility for women across the province.
Senior Provincial Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon confirmed that the next round of scooter distributions will begin soon. He encouraged women to apply for driving licenses, enroll in training sessions, and register for the upcoming phase to benefit from the initiative.
Sharjeel highlighted that the government’s goal is not only to provide scooters but also to empower women — helping them move freely and confidently as they pursue education, employment, and daily responsibilities.
“The first phase of the Pink Scooty Scheme received an overwhelming response,” he said. “Dozens of women successfully learned to ride, obtained licenses, and are now using Pink Scooties for their regular commute.”
He added that the initiative complements other public transport projects such as the People’s Bus Service, Pink Bus Service, and Electric Bus Service, all designed to ensure affordable and dignified travel options for Karachi’s residents.
Sharjeel further remarked that women’s empowerment is not just an administrative effort but a core part of the Pakistan People’s Party’s social vision, echoing the ideals of Shaheed Benazir Bhutto, who championed equality and inclusion.
“This program is a continuation of her dream to see women in Pakistan move forward with safety, respect, and independence,” he stated.
The second phase of the Pink Scooty Scheme is expected to attract even greater participation, reflecting a growing shift toward female mobility and empowerment in urban Sindh.
