Aahung, a Karachi-based non-governmental organisation, has received the Joan B Dunlop award from the International Women’s Health Coalition (IWHC) for its ground-breaking work on reproductive health and rights.

The organisation aims to improve reproductive health of men, women and adolescents across Pakistan. The NGO also won the Human Rights Tulip Award in 2013.

“I can think of no one more deserving of the Joan B Dunlop award,” said Francoise Girard, President of IWHC.
