Domestic violence is still mostly under the radar in Pakistan and probably most parts of the world. What is of course most famous is the acid survivors, women who are victims of their husbands throwing acid in their faces. This is well known and more wide spread than most realize. It is the more traditional, quieter, less visible emotional, psychological and physical abuses that we are focused on with these funds. There is currently one humble shelter in Karachi which we contribute to. And we are also looking for avenues to help more women, especially those who need more discreet help for their safety and those of their children.
Your generosity here is truly impactful, not only helping women find safe spaces but also in building resources in Pakistan for such women. Their is safety, housing and of course helping women get on their feet and be able to have a livelihood. That's key for their survival independently.
Women need also role models in this as this topic is so hushed up and women are culturally encouraged to keep families together "no matter what."
