Chayn means solace in Urdu.
To empower women against violence and oppression, Chayn - a global volunteer-led digital network - was created. Started from one laptop in London, the volunteer network now spans more than 75 volunteers across the globe. Chayn’s founding team of volunteers believes that leveraging technology and digital media is a secure and innovative way of reaching vulnerable women.
Our first project took us to build a crowdsourced website to support women experiencing domestic violence in Pakistan with the help of 75 volunteers globally in 3 months. Since then we have held events to engage people from different backgrounds in brainstorming solutions to violence against women; enabled charities to empower more women through developing content and training manuals; and run campaigns to raise awareness for the problems women face.
