Pakistan has done more for women than any other country
 NEW YORK: Pakistan has done more for womenâs empowerment than any other developing nation and it should not be singled out over violence against women, which is a global menace, President General Pervez Musharraf said on Thursday. âPakistan has taken major steps for womenâs empowerment and gender equality and the government at the highest level responds to any case of violence and rape against women brought to its notice,â he told a press conference. He criticised moves by some organisations to draw political mileage from incidents of violence against women in Pakistan and emphasised that instead an international conference should look into the globally prevalent scourge and remedies for it.
