ISLAMABAD: National Database & Registration Authority (Nadra) has introduced National Sex Offenders Registry (NSOR) coupled with an SMS to track sex offenders.
The NSOR service helps citizens and institutions across the country to identify and track individuals who have been convicted of sex crimes against children and women. It is a dynamic database of sexual convicts.
The links are established with various law enforcement departments and provincial governments so that updates are made in real-time.
This move is aimed at making the service more dynamic and responsive to the needs of the institutions and people at large in preventing sexual violence and abuse.
An SMS-based verification service will alert citizens, employers and departments to beware of such culprits.
This initiative has always remained closer to my heart, which is a critical step towards safeguarding women and children from sexual violence and abuse, according to Tariq Malik, the Chairman of Nadra.
He announced that citizens can now use this service to verify the CNIC number of individuals being hired for household chores, at mosques, colleges, universities, or any other employment to ensure they are not sexual convicts, have a clean record and can be trusted around women and children.
