I am much pleased to know your commitment to promote the self esteem of women & girls regarding their t sexual right. But I am concern have you or any organization did any survey to get the exact figure. A project is succeeded only if the people of targeted community actively participate to achieve the specific objectives for which specific project has been launched. I hope you will be agree with me.
Being the CEO of Vite-N-Hope I am pleased to intimate you that we are also doing similar project in Pakistan targeting the commercially, sexually exploited children (CSEC). Before starting it we did survey involving UNICEF, which revealed there are more than 9000 CSEC & about 20,000 at risk to CSEC in Lahore, Pakistan. We selected peer educators from these CSEC, who are helping us to achieve our specific objectives.
Ikram,
Thank you so much, i do agree with you, on this platform i have learnt one important thing that through our exchange of ideas we discover our weakness and i believe we shall make changes putting in mind that specific objective have to be achieved. Thank you once again for the words of wisdom i hope to share with lesson learnt even beyond this platform.

Thanks for the prompt and good reply. I would like to know, are you interested to launch any kind of program for the grooming of the women/girl children who are sexually exploited and interested to enter the main streaming after social, psychological or vocational rehabilitation. Our organization has good experience & world wide connection to provide you technical assistance. Wish you good luck and keep on doing good work.
I would be pleased if you read my project for the social rehabilitation of CSEC & give some comments for my better learning.
