Home based women workers are the most
unprivileged part of the society. They have
no social and legal recognition of their
work. They are working in isolation and have
no rights as workers by law. These workers
need support to forge their struggle to
claim their rights. That would only be
possible when they will organize themselves
in form of their own union. With their
awareness raising, mobilize women in the
informal sector for collective bargaining
and to mainstream home based work as
contribution to the economy. read more

 Education
assumes prime importance for women of
Pakistan as they are the most vulnerable and
marginalized section of society. The
combination of social taboos, religious
values and gender-biased state policies in
the past has virtually excluded this major
section of population (52%) from mainstream
development. Female education has never been
on the priority lists of parents, society
and the state. These literacy centers will
cater the basic educational needs of women
in those areas.
