Oxfam GB, in collaboration with Strengthening Participatory Organization (SPO) and South Asia Partnership (SAP), has introduced a project addressing women torture in custody. Under the project, women protection forum (WPF), comprising lawyers, police, doctors, civil society, women leaders and politicians, has been formed. WPF will be a district based body, based in Islamabad, Lahore and Rawalpindi. The project aims at creating awareness and improving the observance of women rights in Pakistan. It also serves to prevent and eradicate torture and ill treatment of women in police custody and in shelter homes and jails, and in assisting and rehabilitating women torture survivors in the society.
