By 2027, women, girls and transgender persons in Pakistan, especially those at greatest risk of being left behind, benefit from an enabling environment where they are empowered and reach their fullest potential; and their human, social, economic, cultural and political rights are fully protected and upheld.
Women, girls and transgender persons in Pakistan, especially those at greatest risk of being left behind, benefit from an enabling environment where they are empowered and reach their fullest potential; and their human, social, economic, cultural and political rights are fully protected and upheld. An enabling environment for women and vulnerable groups was improved in various thematic areas including ending violence against women, access to justice, social cohesion, political participation and economic empowerment and resilience. This has resulted in women and vulnerable groups are more empowered and able to take actions at national, provincial and national levels. Law and policy formulation and implementation was improved through technical supports on gender lens and gender-disaggregated data as well as multiple interventions including advocacy, capacity building, awareness-raising, sensitization sessions and information campaigns addressing harmful practices and norms hindering women and marginalized groups in accessing services and information as well as participation in politic, leadership, decision-making, and economy. Multiple pro-women laws including the Anti-Rape Act and Home-Based Workers Laws were supported through capacity building programs, infrastructure improvement and refurbishment and outreach to vulnerable groups to ensure effective implementation. The replication of the Anti-Rape Crisis Cell (ARCC) model launched in 2023 was successfully initiated across Pakistan including in Lahore, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, and Sindh provinces. The district-level EVAWG alliances established with support from UN Women Pakistan successfully enhanced knowledge on laws and women’s rights and improved linkages between government department/service providers and community members, contributing to reduced lack of trust in justice system resulting in women and marginalized groups better access justice and services. As a result, women and vulnerable groups including displaced population are better equipped with knowledge and skills to actively and meaningfully participate in communities and are engaged in leadership and decision-making positions in both public and private spheres.

Advancing partnerships & resourcing; Effectively influencing for impact & scale: UN-Women effectively leverages and expands its partnerships, communications and advocacy capabilities to increase support for and financing of the gender equality agenda, while securing sustainable resourcing for the delivery of its own mandate
UN Women Pakistan Communications and Partnership Unit supported UN Women Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific (ROAP) in selecting six young individuals from Pakistan for the 2023 cohort of the 30 for 2030 Network. This marks the highest participation from Pakistan to date. The 30 for 2030 Network is a youth leadership initiative aimed at advancing the 2030 Agenda from a feminist perspective. It focuses on addressing gender barriers and achieving gender equality by serving as a voluntary advisory community and an accelerator for change-makers dedicated to creating a gender-equal world. These developments underscore a strengthened commitment to gender equality and youth engagement in Pakistan, aligning with global efforts to empower women and young leaders in the pursuit of sustainable development goals. In addition, the Communications and Partnership Unit, in collaboration with ROAP, piloted the Cyber Shield programme to address online gender-based violence (OGBV). Supported by a budget of USD 10,000, the programme aimed to educate individuals on e-security, identify fake content, and protect privacy, thereby providing tools to combat cyber harassment and misinformation. The initiative included workshops and digital literacy training, culminating in an assessment report that outlined key findings and recommendations. This effort aligns with UN Women's commitment to tackling technology-facilitated gender-based violence, a growing concern as digital spaces become increasingly integral to daily life. The Cyber Shield programme reflects a proactive approach to empowering individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate and mitigate the risks associated with online gender-based violence.
