SHIRKAT GAH      

1975, International Womens Year: Shirkat Gah Womens Resource Centre (literally meaning a place of participation) is formed as a non-hierarchical collective to integrate consciousness raising with a development perspective and to initiate projects translating advocacy into action.

Today, a quarter of a century later, Shirkat Gah (SG) has expanded well beyond the Collective to an organisation working in all four provinces of Pakistan with three offices and has ECOSOC status at the United Nations. Living up to its name, Shirkat Gah adopts a participatory approach I its internal functioning and all its activities.
