Aware Girls

Aware Girls is a non-governmental organization in Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Established in 2002, it aims to address violence and discrimination against women and young girls in Pakistan. Their mission is to advocate for women's rights, education, and access to sexual and reproductive health resources. They state their objective as "to strengthen the leadership capacity of young women enabling them to act as agents of social change and women empowerment in their communities."

Gulalai Ismail, a human rights activist based in Peshawar, served as the chairperson of Aware Girls. In 2018, the Pakistani government shut down Aware Girls after Gulalai became associated with the Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM), a social movement advocating for Pashtun human rights.
