Police Service of Pakistan
About
Amna Baig is a Superintendent of Police in the Police Service of Pakistan and a policy expert working at the intersection of law enforcement, gender justice, and technology governance. She is among the mere 2% of women in Pakistan's police officer corps leadership, serving in a country ranked 145th out of 146 on the global gender gap index.
Amna established Pakistan's first Gender Protection Unit — a 24/7 facility that handled over 1,000 cases within six months, significantly expanding access to essential services for survivors of gender-based violence. She has also served on the Anti-Rape Ordinance Committee, contributing to investigation guidelines that shaped national policy in Pakistan.
At Oxford's Blavatnik School of Government, Amna examined technology-facilitated violence against women (TFVAW) and its impact on women's socio-political participation. She advised on two international initiatives: the National Democratic Institute's rapid online support mechanism for women facing digital violence, and pirth.org, a trust and safety platform enabling independent reporting of online threats.
Amna has since led the development and completion of Pakistan's National Strategy to Address Tech-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence — a foundational precedent shaping the future of women's safety online in Pakistan. She has presented her work at the United Nations Headquarters, the United States Institute of Peace, and the Aspen Institute. She is an Eisenhower Fellow, a Heinrich Böll Fellow, and holds a Master of Public Policy from the University of Oxford and a Bachelor of Laws from the University of London.
