AWAM launched a campaign in Tehsil Bhawana, District Chiniot, targeting peasant workers, women home-based workers, out-of-school youth, and persons with disabilities. This initiative’s core purpose is to strengthen and unite.
grassroots voices to address discrimination against marginalized groups, including women, minorities, and persons with disabilities, and to mobilize local groups to advocate for effective local service delivery.
AWAM’s approach involves a series of training workshops, consultation meetings with stakeholders, interactive sessions with youth, and community meetings. These activities are designed not only to inform participants about their rights but also to empower them to stand up for these rights and speak out against injustices. By fostering a sense of empowerment and unity, AWAM is helping communities to collectively demand better access to reserved facilities and dedicated services, ensuring that marginalized groups are not left behind.
The success of this campaign lies in its ability to bridge the gap between local governance and marginalized communities. By providing education on constitutional rights and mechanisms for accountability, AWAM is empowering citizens to actively participate in local governance and demand transparency. The focus on various marginalized groups ensures that the campaign addresses the diverse needs of the community, promoting inclusivity and social justice. AWAM’s efforts are crucial in fostering a more equitable and accountable local governance system in Pakistan.
