Protection of Women and Girls from Gender Based Violence
   
   
Target Districts: Attock (Punjab, Pakistan)
   
Donor: United Nations Development Program, Pakistan
   
   
The specific objectives follow:

  • To establish Sustainable Institutional Structure for addressing ‘Violence against Women’ (VAW) in all six tehsils of district Attock.

  • To build the capacity of education and health departments of district Attock, aiming at mitigation of sexual harassment at workplace

  • To provide domestic workers a place to contact in case of sexual harassment and abuse through Crises Intervention Program
 
The project emphasizes on the awareness raising and implementation of the newly approved landmark laws against sexual harassment. Bedari has an expertise on the issue as it is the founding member of AASHA and working on it for the last eight years. The laws have the potential to improve the work environment for women and girls. They will be able to attend school, go to public place and to work places with much less fear than before. To achieve the real spirit of the laws, it is important that the capacity of all stakeholders is built around the law. Keeping in mind the time limit and resources, this project focuses on three main sectors for eradication of sexual harassment. These three sectors are education, health and domestic work.
 
Following are the major activities under this project:

  • Formation and training of Sexual Harassment Committees in departments of education and health in all the six sub-districts of Attock.

  • Raising awareness about sexual harassment issue and relevant laws in the communities through radio programs, street theatre, and other activities.

  • Establishment of Crisis Intervention Centre for women and girls suffering sexual harassment, and providing free psychological counselling and legal aid to the victims
