"Pakistan (and many other countries around the globe) have tried to address these problems with women's police stations staffed by women. In July, Saleem established a new kind of facility in Gujranwala: a Women's Enclave. Decorated with pink and purple couches, it provides a safe space for women to file complaints informally before contacting a police station and assits victims with counseling and getting a lawyer. But Saleem grew concerned that the Women's Enclave was not serving women in rural areas and unable to leave their homes. That's why the Pink Wheels entered the picture" (par. 4-6).
