Introduction

This website has two sections. The first section provides a list of NGOs geared towards working for women, and the promotion of human rights in Pakistan. This list is by no means exhaustive and is only meant to serve as a starting point. For a comprehensive list of NGOs in Pakistan please refer to Pakistan NGO Resource Directory at http://saewak.7p.com/pakngo.htm or www.net-ngo.com

The second section comprises of "Know Your Rights", a document prepared by Shirkat Gah, which provides information on legal rights Pakistani women are entitled to.
