Society for Empowering Human Resources (SEHER) was established on May 28th, 1998 by a group of concerned youths. SEHER was established with the aim of addressing human misery with a particular focus on women, children, minorities and the poorest of the poor in Pakistan. SEHER is a rights based and social reformatory organization that seeks out a holistic approach towards development initiatives such as the protection of human rights, arms reduction, peace & human security and empowerment of the vulnerable, marginalized, and poor by examining and addressing all aspects of oppression, injustice, violence and poverty while treating the victims and poor as subjects of the change process.
SEHER is guided by a vision of a society where the poorest of the poor, the marginalized, and the socially excluded are empowered to overcome their social, political and economic problems, and enjoy equal human rights and opportunities leading to a life of dignity and self-fulfillment. SEHER understands that as an organization it cannot realize such a vision alone. Such a huge task can only be achieved by strengthening intra-organizational capacities forming partnerships and alliances and pursuing advocacy at the program and policy levels. SEHER has successfully completed programs on poverty alleviation, women empowerment, child protection, legal empowerment, HIV&AIDS, democracy and human security. The organization have also responded to various disasters including drought and floods.
