Safeworld staff are heartbroken about the brutal murder of Farida Afridi.

Farida, together with Noorzia Afridi, co-founded SAWERA.

At a young age, the two women chose to devote their lives to promoting women's empowerment and peace in the tribal regions of Pakistan.

Our hearts go out to Farida's family and to Noorzia and their friends. We hope they get at least some comfort in knowing that Farida has already helped many, in her short life.

The Society for Appraisal and Women Empowerment in Rural Areas(SAWERA) was founded in 2004.
