A campaign launched by Dastak Charitable Trust to increase outreach of information on gender based violence protection services and resources and calls on all citizens and responders to work together to provide holistic and seamless support to those in need!
An Access to Justice Center for Women and Children
Dastak Charitable Trust was established in 1996 with a mission to promote and protect the rights of women and children and to undertake activities for creation of mechanisms, practices and processes for their protection from violence, exploitation, abuse and neglect. Today it operates as an access to justice center that runs a free legal aid program for women and children and provides comprehensive shelter services to women, girls and accompanying children escaping violence. Dastak also carries out outreach and awareness activities and designs and delivers customised trainings for practitioners in the field of women and child protection, which not only focus on relevant laws and policies but also on promoting specific competencies that are indispensable to effectively respond to survivors/victims of violence. Dastak strongly believes in collaboration and sharing its knowledge and expertise gained over thirty years of hands-on experience working on a diverse range of human rights issues.

Our overriding concern is that protection and services to women and children should be provided in a manner that recognizes and respects their right to liberty, dignity and safeguards their best interest. Dastak’s long term objective is to create a strong political and social system for the advancement of women and child rights and to give them confidence in the legitimacy of their rights as well as of the efforts to attain them. In this video, hear our Managing Trustee and Chairperson speak about the history and ethos of Dastak’s emergency shelter.
