U.N. Women's Circles Connecting

Dear Friends! Christian Greetings from Church of Pakistan, Hope you are fine. Let me have introduced myself first. I am Alice Garrick; the Executive Director, Women Development & Service Society (WDSS)regd, Diocese of Raiwind-Church of Pakistan. In the context of discrimination set up between feminism and emancipation, we are working for equal rights. There must be a fundamental change in our cultural society. With this vision, the Women Development & Service Society of Raiwind Diocese has started its mission in 1989 under the great leadership of Mrs. Khushnud Azariah. It was her desire and aim to build a just community, which would be free from all sorts of discrimination and exploitation. The hard work and continuous struggle helped a lot to establish the Women Department. The results of these efforts encouraged us to step forward towards targeted oppressed communities with the message of justice & equality along with the activities for development changes. WDSS is the place where women of all age groups especially the young ones learn, how to live with dignity in the most violent society. They also make effort to recognize their own identity as women and the concept of self-esteem. Capacity must be enhanced through legal and social awareness. This desk also emphasizes to develop the socio-economic status of women especially in under developed semi Urban and rural areas. They are given incentives, guidance and counseling regarding their needs. The skilled women are encouraged to market their products for proper income. This type of help has encouraged many ladies a respectful life. For the empowerment of socially ignored, we have planned capacity building programme by involving various NGO’s and Church bodies as well. This project will consist of basic education, training skills and awareness against social evils. The WDSS aims to facilitate the target women’s participation in all spheres of life besides ensuring the protection of their human and legal rights. Although it is a great challenge, which needs more energy and sources certainly, we trust God will help and guide us.
