For her follow-on project in Pakistan, Hina Bukhari plans to devise a comprehensive and accessible online system that immediately responds to the needs of women and children who are victims of gender-based violence, advocate with the public sector to improve services of helplines, and revamp crisis centers and rescue centers.
