Empower women and promote gender equality
Pakistan is developing country where the man dominant society has different
parameters for women, women don’t have rights same as the men enjoy their
rights. Discriminatory constitution and laws detain the women to become an
active member of the society and to be empowered. Majority of the people are
not allowed to women to be educated and professional in any field, they think
that women are not made for education or work. Women should just stay at home
and should hold household activities and for home activities the education is
not necessary. For above mentioned circumstance, Women alert deals with the
complexities and issues involving sexual harassment and discrimination against
women in all forms, especially at workplace. Women alert is committed to create
awareness and bring a behavioral change in the working environment and other
places where interaction of the genders is frequent or on regular basis.
Women-alert is committed to advocate for the victims and affected individuals
against the offences of sexual harassment and discrimination and take effective
action against the alleged offender. Although women-alert is in nascent stages
of developing as an effective forum for voicing concerns regarding
discriminations and harassment issues, however, women-alert is the only on-line
pressure group in Pakistan of its nature.
MARS is also working to organize the women for their basic and equal rights to
empower them within the family and society so that, a peaceful and developed
society could come in existence.
