Brief Profile of the Organisation

Established in 1994, Aahung has emerged from a Karachi-based community project to a leading authority in the field of sexual and reproductive health and rights in Pakistan. Sexual and reproductive health covers a range of issues including child sexual abuse, violence against women, early and forced marriages, unwanted pregnancies, sexually transmitted infections, HIV / AIDS and sexual disorders. Aahung works towards the prevention and management of these issues. Functioning in an environment devoid of expertise or resources, Aahung has been successful in developing culturally relevant strategies to respond to the sexual and reproductive health needs of the Pakistani population. Moreover, Aahung has had success in integrating quality sexual and reproductive health education in medical academic and educational institutions across Pakistan.
