DESCRIPTION:

In October 2000 Aurat Foundation's Peshawar office started a project to conduct advocacy with government departments to ensure women prisoners' legal and human rights, and to improve their situation by providing legal aid and income-generating skills. This was expected to eventually lead to their rehabilitation. The primary beneficiaries were the women in Peshawar Jail, the majority of whom had been imprisoned for drug carrying offences or under the Zina Ordinance. This case looks at the design of the training and rehabilitation component of the project.
