Annual report [October 2014 - September 2015]

Abstract

“The National Advisory Forum (NAF) of GEP played an instrumental role in designing justice related subgrants and those dealing with minority women. Regional level meetings were held in Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar, Quetta and Islamabad as part of the Tenth NAF meeting with the objective of encouraging the building of linkages amongst its members and GEP regional teams.

Since Year Four (FY Oct. 2013 – Sept. 2014) GEP has been engaging with Harvard University's Carr Center for Human Rights to develop a global treaty on violence against women. Research for Harvard University's Carr Center in context to the barriers encountered by GBV survivors when accessing the justice system in Pakistan was completed this year.

By the end of Year Five (FY Oct. 2014 – Sept. 2015), GEP had awarded 209 sub-grants while 152 had been successfully closed. This report includes a list of GEP Grant Cycles and their themes for the convenience of the reader.”
