KARACHI, Dec 31: The city’s first well-organized private sector shelter home “Panah” for women, who are in distress or who leave their homes because of domestic violence, will start functioning on Tuesday, organizers said here on Monday.
Formally inaugurated by the secretary-general of the Amnesty International, Irene Zubaida Khan, two weeks ago, the shelter home has been set up at a building in the vicinity of Ida Rieu, obtained by Panah.—APP
