2. OUR MOTTO
“Bring socio-economical change among
the life of rural communities”
A message from the President SDO:
It has been my wish since long to work for the rights and empowerment of our local
women. Whenever I went through the daily newspapers, I observed women violence
ever day. Women were burnt alive and were soled like animals. The imbalanced
gender threat found everywhere. It was very panic for me.
In this crucial situation I decided to heal up the local women work for their betterment
and laid the foundation of SDO. I do not claim that our organization is more enough
for resolve all the issues but it is an attempt and a fist step towards the change of the
behaviors of masses as to snatch back the forgotten rights of women and to bring
them shoulder by shoulder with men. In this regard we came in to contact with
various such organization who were our like minded like Shirkatgah, Aurat
Foundation etc. SDO provoked the dumped voice of women.
Now SDO has become the voice of women of our district. We work with the slogan
of “LIVE FOR HUMANITY” I believe that to serve humanity is the noblest way to
seek the pleasure of Allah Almighty.
This is all that SDO wishes to see the society, but if you also see eye to eye with us
then, come forward to strengthen our hands in this change making process.
SAfia Khan Abbasi,
President,

5. SDO Flash back
Shikarpur is the Tehsil head quarter of Shikarpur district
situated at main National highway; there are various NGOs present along
with various slogans, the lack of an organization yet prevailed. Thus the
people from the people like women, the intellectuals, the educators, the
dedicated and devoted peoples stepped forward and laid the foundations of
a humanitarian organization, named SARTIYOON DEVELOPMENT
ORGANIZATION (SDO) SHIKARPUR on 28th
April-2005. That was
very tough time, nobody was ready to guide them, funds were unavailable,
and they started on self-help bases. The days remained very difficult,
people’s discouraging behavior shocked them, and they treat them like
stranger creature out of the earth. They blamed them and did not allow
their daughters and sister to mingle with the SDO member ladies. From
then up to this they are working on self-help bases. They faced many
issue-based problems, like Karo-Kari, Child Hood-Marriages, thick walls
in front of girls’ education and working in the fields without any wages.
