- Benazir Income Support Programme joins forces with ASF
Thursday, March 29, 2018:
A Letter of Agreement was recently signed between Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) and Acid Survivors Foundation (ASF) Pakistan to work on reducing Gender Based Violence (GBV) including Acid Violence in Pakistan, under ASF’s European Union (EU) project. Parties present included Chairperson ASF Pakistan, Mrs. Valerie Khan, Executive Director Mr. Mohammad Khan, Chairperson BISP Ms. Marvi Memon, and Ambassador of the EU Delegation to Pakistan, Mr. Jean-Francois Cautain.
The titled of this EU funded project is ‘Taawun’, which means synergies. This truly translates ASF Pakistan’s working and operational philosophy and explains the historical achievements that resulted from ASF programs. Ms. Marvi Memon’s association with ASF dates back to a decade: she transpires what women politicians can do and we are pleased to reach out to the most vulnerable of women groups to promote women’s rights, agency and overall positive citizenry. The National Commission on the Status of Women (NCSW) has already joined ASF in this adventure, and ASF is now hoping to welcome the Ministry of Human Rights on board.
