WHY THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN OF NAGAR, PAKISTAN?
|
|
|
Nagar is a small village located in the region of Chitral, Pakistan. Due to its remote location with undeveloped, rugged roads, and a grueling journey through the mountains, the village has had very little connection with the rest of Pakistan. Because of this, the region gets left behind, with limited access to resources and infrastructure, coupled with extreme poverty. There are no NGOs offering consistent crisis relief efforts or development support to Nagar; it is simply not on the map for them.
According to insight from our local collaborators, there are many myths and taboos around menstruation and reproductive care within this community. This has led to fatal hygiene mis-management, disease and infection, birth complications, shame, and emotional suffering. This directly affects a girl’s ability to attend school, economic opportunity, confidence, autonomy, dignity, participation in the community, and beyond. There is no doubt that creating balance by uplifting some of the most vulnerable members of the community will positively impact the emotional, economic, and social wellbeing of the entire village.
