"The Awakening" A Society for Social & Cultural Development

“The Awakening” is a right based organization and believes that women and girls can make their own decision, exert control over their bodies and demand their rights by building their capacity in self-confidence, leadership and knowledge of women and girls about their rights and creating feminist platforms to challenge oppressive norms and power structures.

We strive to empower the vulnerable and disenfranchised women in rural areas of Pakistan by building feminist leadership, advances for women’s human rights, advocate and mobilize for gender equality and social justice.

Core competencies of “The Awakening” are on social justice, girl education, elimination of violence against women and girls, advocacy and lobbying for pro women laws and promoting a culture of tolerance by taking pragmatic measures for interfaith harmony and protecting rights of religious minorities and transgender communities.
