Social activist Razia Mehsud has made history by becoming the first woman appointed to the Dispute Resolution Council (DRC) in Upper South Waziristan. The 17-member council was constituted on Arshad Khan’s recommendation, marking a significant milestone for women’s representation and inclusion.
The DRC, established by K-P Police, serves as a community-based forum for mediation, reducing court burdens while promoting accessible and peaceful conflict resolution. Razia is expected to address women’s grievances, family disputes, and broader community issues, improving women’s access to justice in traditionally male-dominated forums.
Her appointment has been praised by tribal elders, social activists, and community representatives, who believe it will encourage greater trust among female complainants, strengthen women’s participation in local decision-making, and pave the way for broader gender inclusion in conflict-resolution mechanisms across the region.
