After a long gap, we have once again reunited to raise our collective voice against Violence Against Women & Girls.
Back in the early years (2006–2010), civil society organizations jointly launched a mass awareness campaign titled “We Can End All Kinds of Violence Against Women” to combat the brutal practice of so-called honour killing (Karo-Kari). That movement created strong public awareness, advocacy, and collective action for sustainable social change.
However, after almost one and a half decades, the alarming rise in violence against women and the recent killing of more than 15 women within just a few months in the name of “honour” compelled civil society activists to revive this important movement once again.
Special appreciation goes to Ms. Rubina Chandio for bringing activists and organizations together on one platform. Kainaat Foundation and its dedicated team have always remained at the forefront in the fight against inhuman customs like Karo-Kari and all forms of gender-based violence.
Today, a large number of women rights activists, lawyers, social workers, journalists, and civil society representatives gathered at Arts Council Sukkur and renewed their commitment to eradicate violence against women and girls through collective struggle, awareness, advocacy, and stronger implementation of laws.
Together, we stand for dignity, justice, equality, and a violence-free society for women and girls.
