‘A Frock for FROK’ fundraiser and awareness event

This women’s clothes and accessories swop event is now part of York’s calendar.  It is a fundraiser for Khwendo Kor, the NGO working on women and children’s rights in deeply conservative and dangerous northwest Pakistan and offers the opportunity to learn more about their work.  Their founder and CEO, Maryam Bibi, was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of York for her human rights works.  And two of their senior staff, Khalid Usman and Gul Lalai, have both attended the Protective Fellowship Scheme at the Centre for Applied Human Rights.

Entry price of £3 includes tea and cake.  Bring up to 3 items to ‘swop’ and pay £1 for each ‘new’ item you take away.
