Rozan Pakistan

What Rozan Pakistan does

Rozan Pakistan is a non-profit society registered under the Societies Act of 1860 in December 1998 and headquartered in Islamabad, Pakistan. It works on emotional health, gender equality, and violence prevention through four core programs: the Children's Program (Aangan, ages 8–12), the Women's Program (Zeest), the Police Trainings & Reforms Program (Rabta), and the Men's Program (Humqadam), complemented by the Rozan Counseling Helpline (0304-111-1741, operating 10AM–8PM seven days a week) and Psychosocial Support Services with culturally relevant modules for disaster, conflict, and displacement-affected populations. The organization also operates an integrated Community Intervention Model in the Rawat community and has developed a KP Police Laws Guide mobile app (Android and iOS) in collaboration with Capital City Police Peshawar.

The underlying 'technology' of the organization consists of psychosocial support methodologies, gender-based violence intervention frameworks, community intervention models, and counseling helpline infrastructure — supplemented by an extensive multilingual content library (English, Urdu, Pashto, Sindhi) covering violence against women, child sexual abuse, masculinities, and police training materials. Rozan's deliverables include training modules, publications, the mobile app, and direct service delivery rather than software products.

Rozan's business model is non-commercial. It is funded through donations, grants, and institutional partnerships — including income from sponsored internships (Rs. 20,000 per four-month cycle) and training/consulting services delivered to government institutions and NGOs. The organization holds special consultative status with the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC, 2006) and tax-exemption status (2005), and is governed by a board led by Managing Director Babar Bashir with partnerships spanning the National Police Academy, KP Judicial Academy, WDD Sindh, UNFPA, UNESCO, and the World Bank.
