Health, equity, and the environment are inseparable.
Women and girls are often the first to feel the impact of environmental and health crises, and the first to lead change. That’s why our fight for climate justice is also a fight for gender equality and collective well-being.
Led by Communities. Rooted in Justice. Powered by Action.
Together with communities across Pakistan and beyond, we are breaking down barriers and building bold solutions to challenges in public health, gender justice, and climate resilience
We are a youth- and women-led grassroots movement working to build a healthier, more just world by starting with underserved and marginalized communities.
From flood-affected villages to urban schools, our programs are rooted in diverse communities across Sindh, Balochistan, and beyond.

What’s New at HEDO
Stories of community leadership, breakthrough ideas, and bold action from the frontlines.
Holistic Empowerment
Women-led, local, and sustainable solutions for menstrual dignity in flood-affected regions of Sindh and Balochistan.
In conservative rural communities, silence around gender and health holds girls back. This project reached over 300 women and girls to confront child marriage, gender-based violence, and menstrual stigma through school sessions and community outreach.
Innovation for Reproductive Justice and Climate Justice Empowering women and youth with smart, inclusive tools for health and climate resilience.
Dignity in Climate Crisis
Dignity Campaign: Periods During Disasters
When disasters strike, periods don’t stop—and neither should support. In response to the 2022 floods in Pakistan, HEDO delivered over 5,000 Dignity Kits to displaced women and girls, along with menstrual health education in IDP camps. This campaign is a powerful reminder: even in crisis, dignity is non-negotiable.
