People's Action for Social Service

WOMEN WELFARE

Living conditions for many women are shockingly hard due to low levels of social and economical life, unemployment, poverty, unavailability of health care services because of their expense, and lack of appropriate policies of enlightenment.

Women who work outside their homes can be exposed to violation of their rights, physical violence, psychological and sexual violence and sexual harassment.

Another hazard for women's health are ecological factors such as social stresses, pollution of water, air and soil.

OUR RESPONSE

People's Action for Social Service (PASS) aims to improve the social, economic and mental condition of the women at Grass root level. Women don't often find opportunities to develop skills that let them master advanced technologies. Nor do they get many chances to let their voices be heard beyond their communities.

Effective strategies have been considered for giving women greater control over their living and working conditions. Through innovative programs Women are given an opportunity to take an active part in the social, economic, political and cultural life of the society. They are provided equal opportunities with men to participate in decision-making processes in different levels of authority. To improve their living conditions, effective awareness programs which naturally change the state of women, changing the mentality of the society towards them, making women aware of their rights and teaching them to protect them are in process.
