Women's Rights

Are Human Rights

Every woman has the right to exercise her reproductive rights and to be protected from violence and harmful practices in both the development and humanitarian contexts. Pakistan Vision 2025 has embedded five components of women’s empowerment into its objectives, including activities that promote women’s self-worth, right to determine their choices, access to opportunities and resources, right and power to control their lives – both within and outside the home – and ability to influence social change. However, these still remain outside of the grasp of women in Pakistan. 

HELP is committed to create widespread awareness and commitment for a just, democratic and caring society in Pakistan, where women and men are recognized as equals, with the right to lead their lives with self-respected and dignity. 

HELP Women Empowerment has some key objectives

1. Women’s Access to Justice & Human Rights
2. Women’s Economic Empowerment
3. Combating Gender-Based Violence
4. Capacity Building of Pakistan Women
