The Gender Equity Program, funded by USAID and implemented in Pakistan by The Asia Foundation and the Aurat Foundation, has undertaken this scoping study on gender-based violence in Pakistan to identify issues, needs and priorities in this particular context, besides highlighting gaps in research and interventions, and clearly mapping out past and present interventions to address gender-based violence by donors and international NGOs in Pakistan. Discussion of this complex area is contextualized in the disadvantages faced by ordinary Pakistani women, with the aim to analyze the problem through a gender-sensitive and responsive lens. A qualitative research methodology was adopted for this study, which uses both primary and secondary data collection and analysis. The respondents were selected from amongst donors, international and national NGOs, media networks, inventories available on the internet, and e-mail lists. The author approached 110 respondents from four identified groups: NGOs and international NGOs specializing in addressing gender-based violence in Pakistan (40 respondents); gender experts and other key informants in the public sector, international NGOs, UN and the donor community (15 respondents), Pakistani print and electronic media professionals (25 respondents), and experts on gender, women, human rights, law and legal aid, media advocacy, research and management, etc. (30 respondents). The aim was to achieve responses from at least 25 ideal respondents in 18 days, with a pre-calculated risk of less than 50 percent responses.
