PACE Kashmir – Prevention & Care for Everyone
A PACE Kashmir Project — Goats for Social Justice (GSG) is a Livelihood Security Social Medicine Innovation Model For Conflict Zones. Our Project targets poor female urban and rural producers, women as well as girls, working and living in a location of armed conflict – Kashmir, INDIA.
History & Background:
Goats for Social Justice [GSJ] operates in Kashmir, India where 3 decades of infiltrations, shootings, killings, arrests, abductions, disappearances, rapes, searches, drug trafficking, by terrorists, separatists, arsonists, soldiers and police have caused wide-ranging psychological disorders including depression, PTSD, O-CD, SAD, GAD, suicidal tendencies, addictions etc. among women, adolescents, children and men in the fabled Vale of Kashmir, Srinagar city, hamlets, villages and towns.
Our project began in 1999 when one of our female patients, suffering from severe untreated depression related to the shooting death of her teenage son, suddenly asked one of our ‘barefoot doctors’, Founder-Director Dr. Arshad Arif Maghribi:
“Arshad doctor, please can you get me a goat?”
Q. To prospective DONORS & VOLUNTEERS — How do YOU want to help PACE Kashmir accomplish its Livelihood Security/Social Medicine Innovation in a Conflict Zone?
Our PACE Kashmir project — GOATS FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE — targets female subsistence-level workers who suffer from psychological disorders as a result of working and living in a location of extended armed conflict.
