Dear John,
HAPPY INTERNATIONAL DAY OF THE GIRL
On this day celebrating the rights and futures of girls everywhere, we
invite you to support Pakistani girls in achieving their dreams.
In northern Pakistan, The Awakening [3] is building feminist leadership and
engaging boys, men and religious leaders in the struggle for gender
equality. This inspiring charity runs girls' and boys' clubs where sexual
and reproductive rights are discussed openly. They also enable access to
contraception and safe abortion care for Pakistan's most marginalised
women.
THE SITUATION IS URGENT.
One third of Pakistan is underwater. Such devastation caused by climate
change means that 12.5 million girls globally may not be able to complete
their education. Around the world, 10 million girls are at risk of child
marriage.
BUT YOU CAN HELP.
DONATE [3]
If you feel able, please support The Awakening today. Your support will:
* Engage 200 girls and boys in sexual and reproductive health and
education workshops
* Organise 10 medical camps, providing contraception and information on
reproductive healthcare
* Train 30 girls to lead family planning workshops to 1,500 school
students and become empowering agents of change
* Develop a 24/7 safe abortion care phone hotline
* Engage 50 men and religious leaders in gender equality and human rights
Right now, The Awakening is organising events throughout the Swat District
for the International Day of the Girl and 16 Days of Activism against
gender based violence.
They are working to protect the human rights of Pakistani girls, children
and women, while facing the immense challenges of flood emergency relief
efforts.
CAN YOU HELP THEM MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR PAKISTAN'S GIRLS TODAY?
