Our Vision:

- women are equally and effectively engaged in decisions that concern their sexual and reproductive rights and health;



- women experience a healthy and satisfying sexual life free from discrimination, coercion, and violence;



- women can make free and informed choices about childbearing; and



- women have access to the information and services they need to enhance and protect their health.



Chapter Info:



In Pakistan, IWHC supports Aahung, a sexual health resource center based in Karachi. Founded in 1995, Aahung's mission and identity have evolved significantly over the past eight years, from working primarily with women living in situations of poverty and raising awareness of HIV/AIDS to developing and implementing a sexuality education curriculum for use in primary and secondary schools in and around Karachi.
