RADFA is a women led NGO dedicated to bringing structural & fundamental change by empowering women to achieve gender equality in a patriarchal society of FATA.
It's our duty to raise the voice of Pakistani women. The world should pay attention to these women as well. It has been almost 100 days since women have been imprisoned in jails in Pakistan. Their crime is to seek freedom, justice, equality & peace.

#Pakistan๐ต๐ฐ No uniformed soldier or sailor should ever enter a polling station. Without exception. Even military personnel should go to vote in civilian clothes. Only the police, under the orders of civilian personnel, should protect the elections.
After the 2013 earthquake, a very dangerous military operation was carried out in Awaran, and the entire region was sieged and turned into a military zone. For at least the last ten years, Awaran has been a complete war zone, but despite all this, the state has not been able to enslave the minds and consciousness of the people.
The large participation of thousands of people, especially women, in mass demonstration on the call of the Baloch Yakjehti Committee today proved that the Baloch people are now completely fed up with state oppression and barbarism.
Now, the decision is in the hands of the people and not the state.
Thank You Awaran ๐น

We strongly condemn all kinds of violence against women at each level because violence against women leads to gender extremism.
Both these girls belong to my area (FATA). Both come to this school every morning to watch school children while getting education. They wish that they also come to school & get education in this way, but poverty is the biggest obstacle in realizing their dream.

Depriving women of their basic rights in a free country is tantamount to slavery. All women in Pakistan who are deprived of basic rights need a long-term concerted effort like this historic liberation of August 14 to gain freedom from cultural restrictions.
