Why I Joined This Mentorship Program

When I joined this mentorship program, I wasn’t just looking for growth; I was searching for direction, ideas, and people who understood the same mission I carry in my heart: ending Gender-Based Violence (GBV) in Pakistan.

Over time, I’ve seen how GBV affects countless women in ways words can’t fully describe. Many stories go unheard, and many efforts fade because we often lack proper guidance, networks, or resources to take our work to the next level. That’s why this program means so much to me.

I hope to gain new ideas, meaningful connections, and the right guidance to turn our small initiatives into structured, impactful actions. I want to learn how to plan better, find sustainable funding, and build stronger community support around GBV awareness and prevention.

And recently, I found one of the biggest blessings of this journey, connecting with Tomasa through World Pulse. Together, we’ve partnered on our GBV project, and I can honestly say I’ve found a true companion in this mission. She helps refine my ideas, guides us toward actionable steps, and reminds me that collaboration makes every goal more possible.

Through this mentorship, I don’t just hope to grow; I hope to create a space where women working for change feel supported, guided, and never alone. Because when women come together with one purpose, transformation isn’t just a dream, it becomes reality.
