Invitation for Partnership:
Supporting Women-Led Peacebuilding

I’m reaching out to share an opportunity close to my heart and to ask for your support in amplifying women-led peacebuilding efforts in Pakistan.

Through Parindey, the social enterprise I founded, we are currently hosting the second cohort of the Jaari Women Peacebuilder Fellowship—a national program supporting 20 young women from marginalized and conflict-affected regions to lead transformative work in their communities. The fellowship equips them with skills in trauma-informed healing, community organizing, and feminist policy advocacy.

As we approach the closing of this year’s program, we are organizing an in-person retreat and national policy dialogue from August 6–10, 2025, in Islamabad. This gathering will center women’s political participation, locally rooted peacebuilding, and intergenerational dialogue with decision-makers.

We are currently looking for partners, supporters, and sponsors—both institutional and individual—who believe in the power of feminist leadership and community-based change.

If you know of any organizations, networks, diplomatic missions, or individuals who may be interested in supporting or connecting with this initiative, I would be deeply grateful if you could point us in their direction or make an introduction.

I’d be happy to share our concept note, budget, or schedule a short call to discuss this further.

Thank you for standing with us as we build safer, more inclusive futures—one woman peacebuilder at a time.

Warmly,

Sonal Dhanani
