We are so grateful for your kind and thoughtful support! We want to make sure you see the impact of your donation, by sending you a brief project update.
SAHR has spent the last 10 years working on a grassroots level to provide much needed legal support to victims of gender violence in South Asia and the Middle East. While we are passionate about the needs of our community in India, at this time, we have experienced a shift in capacity and will no longer be raising funds to support the "Feminist Lawyering Curriculum Development in India" which you had originally donated to.
We write to inform you that, instead, the funds will go to support much needed, urgent and dangerous work of our partners in Kabul, Afghanistan. Our Co-Founder, Natasha, was in Afghanistan just a few weeks ago and reported on the challenges of navigating corruption to uphold the law and make cases heard. This week, we had to assist and represent several women who were being persecuted to be murdered.
We understand that this shift in region and project focus may not align with your charitable interests. If you would like to seek a refund for your donation, please contact Global Giving directly by emailing help@globalgiving.org. If you would still like to support communities in India, there is still an opportunity to do so by contacting Nishma Jethwa at nishma.jethwa@googlemail.com.
You can contact me with any questions regarding donations and our project work. We appreciate your support and look forward to sending you a project update in early spring.
Please consider sharing our work with your friends and family by sharing this link to our GlobalGiving project on social media, or just bring us up in conversations.
Sincerely,
Stephanie Clarey
