Women's Economic Resilience In Pakistan

UN Women Pakistan’s 'Women's Economic Empowerment and Humanitarian Action' is committed to the overarching goal of empowering women and girls by ensuring equal opportunities for meaningful participation across various sectors. The primary focus is on enabling them to secure higher incomes, enhancing access to resources and humanitarian aid, and fortifying their economic resilience. In alignment with this mission, UN Women Pakistan has launched the 'Women's Socio-Economic Resilience project,' funded by the Government of Japan. This project aims to integrate gender perspectives into humanitarian planning cycles and responses, facilitating humanitarian actors in addressing the multifaceted needs of women and girls. Specifically, the initiative targets 49,280 direct beneficiaries in three provinces of Pakistan, spanning nine districts. One notable aspect of this effort includes the establishment of 90 women community centers strategically placed across nine flood-affected districts in Balochistan, Sindh, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
