Coalition for Inclusive Pakistan (CIP) Trust for Democratic Education & Accountability (TDEA)

On “Promoting the Human Rights and Electoral Participation of People with Disabilities (PWD), Transgender people and Women in Pakistan”, TDEA implemented a 20-month (November 2017- June 2019) project in collaboration with United States Department of State Bureau of Democracy.
This project took the responsibility to address the concern and rights of PWDs and transgender people which have not previously been focus of election observation in Pakistan, and women’s rights in elections remain imperfectly realized. To achieve their human rights through greater participation in electoral processes, 15 CSO’s dedicated to the rights of these populations have formed Coalition for Inclusive Pakistan (CIP).
TDEA-CIP selected 15 organizations throughout Pakistan from provinces which were divided into three marginalized clusters: Women, Trans-genders and Special Persons (PWD). To facilitate women, WDFP is selected from Sindh and decided to perform different activities in Karachi between November 27, 2017 and March 14, 2019.
In 2019, after the electoral process TDEA-CIP team conducted Post Assessment Survey, interviewed the political parties’ representatives to know that what special measures are adopted for women, trans-genders and PWD. Team shared recommendations with party representatives by organizing different events at Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi.
