KARACHI: The Ministry of Human Rights (MoHR), in partnership with the European Union in Pakistan and UNDP Pakistan, convened a two-day workshop aimed at re-operationalizing the Human Rights Information Management System (HRIMS) in Karachi on October 13-14, 2026. The event, part of the EU Huqooq-e-Pakistan II Project, focused on equipping provincial staff with the necessary skills to manage and report on human rights data effectively.

According to Ministry of Human Rights, the workshop featured the installation and configuration of HRIMS equipment. It provided orientation for Provincial Treaty Implementation Cell staff and capacity building for provincial line departments’ focal persons.
