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. Sahil Annual Report 2015 vi Sahil Annual Report 2015 vii 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. Sahil Annual Report 2015 viii Sahil Annual Report 2015 ix 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.

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.

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.

Lahore Abbottabad 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.
