Shirkat
Gah – Women’s Resource Centre is a leading women’s rights
organisation in Pakistan since 1975.
Background
Meaning a
place of participation, Shirkat Gah (SG) was formed as a
collective to integrate consciousness-raising with a development
perspective.
For more
than 30 years SG has facilitated women’s empowerment by
increasing their access to information, resources, skills and
decision making, and helped to bring about positive change to
policies, laws and practices.
Viewing
rights and development as inherently linked, SG has a
multi-dimensional approach, aiming to translate advocacy into
actions, engaging with local issues, aligning with international
themes and linking the grassroots to the global.
Vision
SG is committed to
a
progressive and democratic society, where gender equality
prevails, human security and opportunities are ensured for all
and resources are shared on sustainable basis in a just world
order.
Main
programme:
Women’s
Empowerment and Social Justice Programme (WESJP)
is Shirkat Gah’s integrated programme since January 2008. It
focuses on good governance, livelihoods, and rights, gender
imbalances and adopts an integrated approach to address the
complex dimensions of women’s empowerment.
