BACKGROUND
As a developing nation, Pakistani cultural activities have witnessed a steep
decline in the recent past due to unforeseen natural disasters, incidents of
terrorism and civil unrest. This calls for an immediate action to ensure the
protection, support and development of our unique local culture with the
aim to introduce diverse opinions and ideas deemed essential for the
cultural advancement of any society. In the long term, such a bold step can
have direct and positive impacts on the worsening socio-political situation
within the country.
We are looking for dedicated and professional individuals from the field of
event management, who will be willing to work together with our
organization on this highly challenging project. In addition, we are seeking
help from all event organizers and cultural centres within the country to
support this project by providing us with entry passes to their upcoming
events, which will be distributed free of cost among female visitors of our
website danka.pk, Facebook and Twitter pages.
All those interested in volunteering for this project or who have suggestions
and ideas for this project, may contact us by writing to women@danka.pk
