Balochistan Gender Network organises Stand Up Against Poverty event in Pakistan
Baluchistan Gender Network is an inform alliance of 22 member organizations, that includes representatives from both civil society organizations as well as from the government departments. Our main advocacy areas are related to campaigning on Gender equality related issues, around International Women Day events in the following areas:
(a) Gender Based Violence (that was the theme of our 2005 International Women’s day event).
(b) Promoting empowerment of rural women
(c) Challenging in-equalities through advocacy campaigns
(d) Providing a collective platform for raising the voices of organizations promoting Gender Equality
Our analysis is that GBV and feminization of poverty are closely linked, so does these impacts the overall poverty situation.
We support the “Millennium Campaign” for promoting awareness on Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) related to Gender equality and Poverty Reduction. Our message is in line with FTF of GCAP’s, in order to support the overall equality efforts: “Together in the efforts for Gender equality to end poverty”.
Action: To support the FTF efforts for the “month of mobilization” and to contribute to the upcoming World Food Day, International Rural Women day and Poverty Eradication Day, the local Gender Network in Baluchistan planned its events around the days of October, It included
( a) A discussion session on “inequality and poverty”
(b) A joint statement that “we, the Baluchistan Gender Network members are in solidarity with FTF of GCAP for the Month of Mobilization. In this regard we plan activities and mobilization events related to Rural Women Day, Poverty Eradication Day and World Food Day. The events include facilitating rural women artisans with market, support to the white band campaign and adopting the messages related to campaign are in line with our solidarity with the FTF of CGAP”.
