Pairavi: Raising Voices, Claiming Rights

Pairavi 1_026 – 1

“Pairavi”; the quarterly advocacy newsletter includes, the advocacy practices carried out by WOREC and demonstrates a clear shift in the women’s rights movement from program-based interventions toward structural justice, political accountability, and a community-based feminist movement ecosystem.

Activities implemented in working districts of WOREC have integrated issues such as GBV, human rights violations, harmful social practices, mental health, SRHR, digital violence, and political participation into a unified movement agenda.

Quarter (January-March) analysis demonstrates that gender-based violence (GBV) is not merely a social issue but a deeply political phenomenon rooted in entrenched patriarchal power structures. At the same time, it highlights the increasing emergence of women and marginalized communities as political actors and rights-holders, alongside the evolution of programmatic interventions into a broader feminist movement ecosystem. Despite persistent structural challenges including entrenched patriarchy, a weak justice system, rising digital violence, child marriage, and unstable resource allocation collective efforts across districts have contributed to a strengthening trajectory of transformative change. Together, these actions signal a shift from isolated service delivery toward a sustained struggle for structural transformation, accountability, and gender justice.
