FWAID successfully convened “Grassroots to Governance Dialogues -From Margins to Partnership,” in partnership with National Commission on the Status of Women,bringing global and regional institutional perspectives along with community experiences into a shared conversation on inclusion.

We discussed what equality requires in everyday life: accessible education, skills, economic opportunities, responsive services and the freedom to make decisions along with data informed decisions.

Rural poverty, stigma and funding barriers demand sustained action. Women and girls with disabilities and transgender persons must help design that action.
Special thanks to A.H. Monjurul Kabir, Ph.D and Mikiko United Nations ESCAP Nayyab Ali (S.I) 🇵🇰🙌🏻

Thank you to NCSW , YAN Pakistan ® , MGCY (Official) and all our speakers and participants.

Together, we will continue connecting grassroots leadership with policy implementation.

We are honoured to have Dr. A.H. Monjurul Kabir, Senior Rule of Law, Foreign Policy and Gender Expert, joining Grassroots to Governance Dialogues – Session 1: From Margins to Partnership (SDGs 10 & 17).

The conversation will turn towards those who are often least visible in institutional data and decision-making — particularly women and girls with disabilities. He will explore, how can we ensure that women and girls with disabilities become central to implementation, funding decisions and accountability?

Because inclusion is not only about reaching people — it is about ensuring they are seen, heard and reflected in decisions that affect their lives.

✨ Leadership begins with courage, grows through service, and creates space for others.
Our Executive Director Rabia Tahir graced the Investiture Ceremony at Beaconhouse Satellite Campus, Rawalpindi, Girls Branch, as Chief Guest.
Celebrating the newly appointed Student Council, the occasion marked a meaningful step in young girls’ leadership journeys.
A badge is more than an honour—it is a responsibility to listen, include, and lead with integrity.
To every young leader: your voice matters, your ideas matter, and your actions can make a difference.
When girls are encouraged to lead today, they help shape a more equal tomorrow. 🌟

📢اعلی سطح پر خواتین کی نمائندگی اور شمولیتی پالیسی سازی کی جانب ایک اہم قدم!

Frontier Women Alliance for Inclusive Development FWAID

فرنٹیئر ویمن الائنس فار انکلوسیو ڈویلپمنٹ کے لیے یہ اعزاز ہے کہ ایک باضابطہ نوٹیفکیشن کے ذریعے ادارے کو خیبر پختونخوا کمیشن برائے وقارِ نسواں کے سول سوسائٹی مشاورتی بورڈ میں بطور رکن نامزد کیا گیا ہے۔

ہماری اگزیکٹو ڈائریکٹر، رابعہ طاہر، اس صوبائی فورم پر FWAID کی نمائندگی کرتے ہوئے معذوری کے ساتھ زندگی گزارنے والی خواتین اور لڑکیوں، پسماندہ علاقوں کی خواتین اور دیگر محروم طبقات کی آواز، تجربات اور ترجیحات سامنے لائیں گی۔

یہ نمائندگی خواتین کی قیادت کے ذریعے پسماندہ علاقوں کی خواتین اور صوبائی پالیسی سازی کے درمیان براہِ راست رابطے کا ایک اہم موقع ہے۔ ہماری کوشش ہوگی کہ وہ خواتین، جن کی آواز اکثر فیصلہ سازی تک نہیں پہنچ پاتی، پالیسیوں کی تشکیل اور عمل درآمد میں بامعنی حصہ لے سکیں، اور ان کی ضروریات شمولیت، مساوی مواقع اور حقوق پر مبنی عملی اقدامات میں جگہ پائیں۔

ہم ہزارہ میں شمولیتی پالیسی سازی، مضبوط ادارہ جاتی شراکت داری اور ایسے عملی اقدامات میں اپنا کردار ادا کرنے کے لیے پُرعزم ہیں جو خواتین کے حقوق سے متعلق وعدوں کو ان کی روزمرہ زندگی میں حقیقی بہتری سے جوڑیں۔

ہم اس اعتماد اور کردار ادا کرنے کے موقع پر خیبر پختونخوا کمیشن برائے وقارِ نسواں کے شکر گزار ہیں۔

نچلی سطح سے حکمرانی تک—خواتین کی آواز اُن فیصلوں کی تشکیل میں شامل ہونی چاہیے جو اُن کی زندگیوں پر اثرانداز ہوتے ہیں۔

We are excited to welcome Ms. Nayyab Ali, Harvard Carr-Ryan Global Fellow, as a speaker in Grassroots to Governance Dialogues – Session 1: From Margins to Partnership.

When gender identity intersects with disability, ethnicity or other forms of marginalisation, people can find themselves excluded from the very systems designed to protect them.

This raises an important question:

What does genuine intersectional accountability look like in practice — not just on paper?

Join us for a conversation that looks beyond one-dimensional approaches to inequality and asks what meaningful, inclusive and accountable systems should look like.
