About this episode
Pakistan, a country with a population exceeding 250 million, is often misunderstood despite its foundation based on religion. Challenges, particularly concerning girls, persist. Dr. Tabinda Sarosh, the international CEO of Pathfinder in Karachi, Pakistan, is a distinguished human rights and public health expert. She focuses on providing women’s health services across the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. In this discussion, we delve into the experiences of girls growing up in Pakistan, addressing the complexities of managing sexual and reproductive health.
