Chairman’s Statment
On behalf of the Board of Directors of Sahil I would like
to thank all the staff, volunteers and partners of Sahil
for their hard work in 2015. Through your work and
dedication, Sahil has extended its outreach to nearly a
million bene!iciaries across Pakistan.
One example,during 2015, aptly illustrated the
important contribution civil society organizations can
make in developing our society. Sahil was prominent in
the aftermath of the tragic child abuse incidents in
Kasur. Our library of resources and expertise were
sourced by the media to raise awareness on the levels of
child abuse across the country. For the !irst time the
issue of child sexual abuse was elevated onto a national
platform, recognized as an issue which concerns us all.
This experience reinforces the need for ongoing
advocacy in developing protective environments for
children against all forms of abuse. Sahil will continue
in its quest to realize its vision that all children should
be safe, secure and protected.
During the year, Sahil made further strides in
institutional strengthening. The !irst ever board
evaluation was conducted at the Sahil Board of Directors
meeting in December. These evaluations will give us
important insights on the strengths and weaknesses of
the Board as a whole. Going forward, we intend to
develop and evolve the evaluation process to ensure the
Board remains fully engaged and continues to
contribute effectively to the mission and vision of Sahil.
The skill mix of the seven member Board covers a broad
diversity of skills and expertise including education,
gender, psychology, research, development sector,
economics, !inance and corporate governance. We will
continue to look for opportunities to enrich this skill
mix with new board members.
Khawar Ansari
Board Chair
Finally, I would like to thank all the donors who have
supported Sahil over the years including Canadian
International Development Agency, the European
Union, Groupe Developpment, Ministry of Foreign
Affairs and Trade Development (DFATD), Canada,
Canadian Fund for Local Initiative and most importantly
The Royal Norwegian Embassy for continues support to
Sahil's program for the past 18 years.

Foreword
Sahil, since its inception, is committed to spreading knowledge
and strategies to protect children from abuse and neglect.
The year 2015, despite the budget !luctuations due to international
market rates, was a quite fortunate year for Sahil. Along with The
Royal Norwegian Embassy's funding for the three years from
2015-2017, Sahil's impact of previous work was acknowledged by
the government of Canada through 2 small grants under CFLI,
Canada, and a one year project from DFATD, Canada.
Sahil expanded its community program by establishing Village Child
Protection Networks (VCPN) not only in 4 new Union Councils of its
Regional Of!ice districts, but also in 4 new districts of Haripur (KPK),
Sheikhupura (Punjab), Khairpur (Sindh) and Sohbat pur
(Balochistan).
Building on child protection trainings, the community and
Sahil VCPN members were provided further training on
sexual violence, and effects of early marriages, including a
referral list of support services. The community feedback was
extremely positive and appreciative of the information. Many
cases were shared by them.
A new target group of Lady Health Workers (LHWs) who are
dedicated health professionals providing services at the grass
roots level , was given a workshop on child rights, child
protection, growth and development, gender based violence
and early/forced marriages. After the awareness raising on
child marriages, Sahil broadened its mandate of legal aid
program and now includes early marriages and violence
against women cases for providing them free legal aid.
Dr.Manizeh Bano
Ececutive Director
The impact of Sahil teacher's training program can be seen in
the many requests recieved from schools and organizations
such as Army Public School, Beacon House School System,
UNHCR, and Health Services Academy to train their staff on
child protection.
I would like to express gratitude to The Royal Norwegian Embassy
for there continuous support, and commitment to child protection in
Pakistan.
I would also like to thank CFLI and DFATD, Canada for providing
Sahil with the opportunity to strengthen its child protection program.
Finally none of this could have been achieved without the hard work
and commitment of all Sahil Staff. I highly appreciate their efforts.

About Sahil
Our Vision
Har Bacha Mehfooz - Safe, Secure and Protected
Our Mission
To develop a protective environment for children free from all forms of violence especially child sexual abuse
Experience and expertise in child protection:
Sahil is one of the few Non-Pro!it Organizations which has been working on child protection since 1996 with
a special focus on the issue of child sexual abuse and exploitation. Our work includes establishment of child
protection system through referral mechanism at village level, research and publications, awareness raising,
advocacy on legal issues, capacity building of teachers, parents, communities, law enforcing agencies,
government departments and CSOs, crisis intervention, free legal aid and free counseling services for
victims of violence, a help-line and a website.
Sahil's focus from its inception has been child sexual abuse and its entire work experience has now
culminated over twenty years. Now Sahil is recognized nationally and internationally as the lead
organization on this issue.
Sahil interventions have been introduced to more than 40 districts of Pakistan, directly and indirectly, and
have always received a warm welcome and acceptance of the issue from the communities at large, the
district administration, and local NGOs.
The issue of child sexual abuse had never been openly discussed before at the community level. Sahil broke
this silence and created the space through a sensitive approach which involved local government
representatives, community leaders, school teachers and administrative authorities. It developed a
partnership approach which secured the sustainable commitment of these local stakeholders by
establishing a Child Protection Network (CPN) for providing on-going support and outlining a procedure
which was standardized yet accommodated local sensitivities.
Sahil has formed Child Protection Networks (CPN) at the village level in 160 villages of 12 districts. Sahil's
approach entailed an institutional innovation which engaged local health workers, religious leaders,
activists, parents, children lawyers, police of!icers, district administration of!icials and NGO representatives.
Sahil's technical innovation in terms of the development of training tools such as posters, animations,
interactive CD games, comic books, docu-dramas, puppet shows, magazines and children's games is widely
acknowledged.

Mr. Asif, a community member from Union Council Mirpur, attended Sahil child protection session. He
came to Sahil of!ice Abbottabad. He was very upset and shared that his only son has lost interest in his
studies. He also has many behavioral issues. He was given an appointment to bring his son for counseling.

Capacity building on child protection for Lady Health Workers (LHWs)
Sahil has many Lady Health Workers as member’s of the VCPNs established during community
interventions, in the years 2012 to 2014. They were the most active and ef!icient group to disseminate
child protection messages and also contacted Sahil for referral purposes to other service providers.
Therefore, Sahil chose this group for capacity building on child protection, growth and development, effects
of early marriages and gender based violence, to share with the population of their target villages. For this
purpose a training manual was developed for this group.
A total of 191 LHWs participated from 8 union councils of program districts. They were all motivated after
the training, and said that they will share the manual in their monthly meetings with other LHWs of the
district also. Each LHW has an outreach of approximately 200 households. They shared child protection
messages during their visits to households and record the message delivered on provided forms. The forms
were
collected by the LHW supervisors.

Message sharing with students
The trained teachers replicated the training with 3,984 boys and 3,643 girls in their schools.
Case study
After an Adolescent Health training at Sohbat Pur High School, during a question answer session, a teacher of class 6, asked
“if a child is unable to do his work, and isolates himself from the entire class activities, then what should we do to involve him
in the class? The trainer asked the teacher to !ind out what are the areas of interest of the student and also probe reasons for
his isolation. At the end of the session this teacher met with trainer and discussed the case of this student in detail. He then
shared that the student had been sexually abused by another boy. Now the parents of that student are trying to hide this
case due to shame. He wanted to know what Sahil can do for this boy. The trainer told him about the free legal aid and counseling
services provided by Sahil. Furthermore he informed him about the procedure of FIR reporting at police station, taking medico
legal of child and registering the case. After this the teacher went to the victim's house and persuaded the victim's family to
register an FIR. Finally, the family agreed and after one week they contacted Sahil's regional of!ice for free legal aid and
counseling services. Later on the teacher gave his feedback to Sahil and said that his learning skills had improved after
getting our AH training and now he can deal with students in a !lexible manner.

Legal Case
Hina , a girl aged 12 years , was sexually abused by her 28 year old cousin Amin. The case was
registered in the police station through complainant, a district Nazim of the Mosques.
According to the complainant he received a phone informing him that a minor orphan girl had
been raped. Complainant reached the spot where the victim was in a critical condition. Complainant
informed the police and the victim was brought to the hospital for medical treatment.
After complete investigation police submitted the challan in the court of district and session judge,
proceeding for further evidence. Sahil Legal Of!icer was requested by the complainant to take up the
case because no lawyer had been engaged so far for this case. The vakalatnama was submitted on
behalf of complainant. The victim was referred for counseling to Sahil Jeet Healing Centre (JHC).
After many counseling sessions the victim disclosed that she used to live with her paternal aunt, mother of
the accused. Her sister Ms. Z is the wife of younger brother of accused and all live in a joint family.. It was
2nd July 2011 when the accused Amin took her along with him stating that he would buy her some
toffees and other things from the market. It was at about noon time, when they reached the market he
did not buy anything there. When she reminded him he said that there was another place where he
worked and he would take her for shopping there.
Then he took her along with him to a house. The gate was locked. He scaled over the wall, and helped
her over the wall also. In the house, he took her to a room and while undressing himself and her, he kept
threatening to kill her with a hatchet if she dared to tell anyone.. He slapped her and hit her with a belt
falsely accusing her of breaking his little son's arm. The accused raped her, covering her mouth with
his hand and then a pillow. This continued for about three hours. She was bleeding badly and was in
severe pain in her stomach and body. She was fainting and all she could recall was that then the
accused brought her in some vehicle and after throwing her on the road, went away. She was !inally
able to walk home and told her sister everything.
Her sister called the neighbor for help. The neighbor told the Qari sahib about the incident who then
informed the complainant who called the police.
Sahil Legal Of!icer pleaded the case and the learned trial court Additional District and session judge,
Islamabad, decided this case on April 15, 2015 after 4 years. Learned trial court announced judgment in
the open court. The accused was convicted and given death sentence and a one Lac rupee !ine in default
of which he will undergo a six month sentence in jail.

and the larger community. The manual included child rights, kinds of abuse and effects, child
protection, gender based violence and early forced marriages statistics and effects. Laws and relevant
organizations for referrals was also shared.

Feedback from the communities:
Feedback on early marriages was quite different in Sindh and Baluchistan then in Punjab and Khyber
Pakhtoonkha. Males in Sindh and Baluchistan understand the consequences but think that they are
unable to change the norms of their forefathers. The females, although want change in these areas
seem to be helpless due to these norms. For Sahil, this means that these trainings should be continued, as
we know that behavior change requires constant input and follows up.
Case study:
A student of class 9, a Sahil VCPN member, from Union Council Manawa, Lahore,
shared that the marriage of her friend, a student of class 7, was to be held after her !inal
exams. She would no longer attend school. After the training on effects of early
marriages, the VCPN child member shared the manual with her friends and teachers.
She, along with her other friends, met with the mother at the parent teacher meeting
held at the school and requested her to postpone the marriage till her doughter had completed
class 10. The mother was convinced and the marriage was postponed.
Awareness raising campaign through cable network and PTV Home:
Sahil has 5 animated messages on child protection (Meri Hifazat). Sahil gave mass awareness of these
protection messages through electronic media for the larger public.
