Abstract

A case study of a women’s shelter in Pakistan is described, using in-depth interviews with the founders and staff. This article examines how a shelter program based on a human rights framework operates in the Pakistani cultural context. Findings demonstrate the considerable challenges faced by the organization, especially in reintegrating women back into society, as well as growing acceptance of shelter programs and women’s right to make life choices as a result of the organization’s work.
