The tribal district of Kurram in Peshawar made headlines for appointing the first Christian woman as the Station House Officer (SHO) at the Parachinar Police Station. Samreen Amir is an established individual who has proved to be an integral police officer. With countless successful raids and investigations, she has strived to create an environment that supports voiceless and vulnerable women. Her promotion is an accolade that is truly deserved, and will undoubtedly uplift not only women, but the Christian community as well. Beyond this even, having a woman SHO transforms police stations into safe spaces that women view to be accessible and empathetic to their complaints.
