Population Welfare Department collaborates with religious scholars for family planning

The Population Welfare Department (PWD) in Tank recently organized a one-day awareness seminar for religious scholars to address population welfare-related issues. The seminar, which took place at a local hotel, brought together religious scholars from across the district to discuss the importance of spacing between children. The scholars emphasized that Islam encourages planning in all aspects of life, including family planning, to ensure the well-being of both mothers and children, as well as the broader society.

Under the guidance of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government and the supervision of the Deputy Commissioner of Tank, the seminar aimed to raise awareness about population welfare matters. Dr. Muhammad Tariq, the District Population Welfare Officer in Tank, explained that the goal of the seminar was to involve religious scholars in promoting family planning. He highlighted the initiative's objective of providing accurate information on contraception and reproductive health to the Muslim community, dispelling any misunderstandings or reservations arising from a limited understanding of religious teachings.

In furthering these efforts, the Population Welfare Department in Tank has partnered with various Islamic scholars to educate the public on family planning. Dr. Tariq emphasized the vital role of religious scholars in advocating for family planning practices. At the seminar's conclusion, the religious scholars reiterated their commitment to spreading awareness about the Population Welfare Department's message.

The seminar organized by the Population Welfare Department in Tank, in collaboration with religious scholars, marks a significant step towards promoting family planning and reproductive health within the Muslim community. By engaging with religious leaders and providing accurate information, the department aims to address misconceptions and encourage responsible family planning practices for the betterment of individuals and society as a whole.
