What women face in Pakistan

Barriers we break. Support we provide.

Women and girls across Pakistan face systemic barriers. Here’s how LBD responds to each.

Limited education & skills

Many women and girls lack access to quality education and market-ready skills, limiting their options.

How LBD responds

We run skills training, apprenticeships, and literacy programmes in community hubs so women can build confidence and earn.

Economic dependency

Without access to capital or income, women often remain financially dependent and unable to make choices.

How LBD responds

Savings circles, micro-grants, and mentor networks give women the tools to save, invest, and grow their own enterprises.

Safety & protection gaps

Gender-based violence, harassment, and lack of safe spaces prevent women from participating fully.

How LBD responds

Trauma-informed counselling, legal referrals, and safe community spaces where women can heal and access support.

Limited voice & leadership

Cultural norms often exclude women from decision-making and leadership roles.

How LBD responds

Advocacy training, women-led committees, and peer networks so women gain voice and influence in their communities.
