SHRC Annual Report 2023–2024

Obun2 is pleased to have prepared the Annual Report 2023–2024 for the Sindh Human Rights Commission (SHRC). The Commission is an independent statutory body established under the Sindh Protection of Human Rights Act, 2011, with the mandate to promote, protect, and enforce human rights across the province of Sindh. It functions as a watchdog institution, empowered to investigate complaints of human rights violations, conduct inquiries (including Suo Moto), monitor government compliance with constitutional and international human rights obligations, and make policy recommendations to improve legal and institutional safeguards. The Commission plays a pivotal role in bridging the gap between citizens and the state by providing accessible redress mechanisms and advocating for rights-based reforms in governance, legislation, and service delivery.

The SHRC Annual Report 2023–2024 offers a comprehensive overview of the Commission’s strategic work and achievements over the past year. It documents SHRC’s interventions in the areas of child rights, women’s rights, business and human rights, rights of minorities, and access to justice, reflecting its growing institutional maturity and mandate. The report outlines the Commission’s case handling, Suo Moto inquiries, public hearings, and engagement with government departments, judiciary, civil society, and the media. It also details SHRC’s efforts in policy advocacy, legal reform, capacity building, and public awareness, as well as its contribution to advancing national and international human rights commitments, including the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Notably, the report highlights the integration of Business and Human Rights into SHRC’s scope and its emphasis on vulnerable groups such as women, children, and religious minorities. While showcasing progress, the report also acknowledges key institutional and systemic challenges and provides forward-looking recommendations for legal harmonisation, institutional coordination, and improved complaint redress mechanisms to enhance the human rights ecosystem in Sindh.

The report was compiled and designed by the Obun2 team, in close coordination with SHRC staff.
