Changing Health And Education Trajectory Amongst Pakistani Women \u2013 WSA Winner Raaji<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

In 2021, Pakistan’s population counts 225 million people. To this date, the country faces many gender issues, gender inequality, high abortion rates and very low contraception use. The government lacks focus on developing educational programs for health. Health misconceptions from long ago are still circulating and women are culturally shamed about their natural body functions. There is a lack of access to hospitals and clinics where women and girls could find treatment or advice.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Saba Khalid<\/a>, Founder and CEO of RAAJI, perceived the lacking access to information and started Raaji in 2017 to help and support girls 24\/7. She expains,”As somebody who’s young and uses digital technology I knew that one solution could be providing women and girls with the kind of content that could change their lives and truly change their trajectory when it comes to their health.”<\/strong><\/p>\n
