We are not a law enforcement agency but we are here to advise you a course of action you can take after looking at your case as each case has different parameters and types of issues which could range from someone hacking into your account to take your personal photos, etc or someone trolling you online, we also keep trying to find volunteers for free qualified psychological and legal counselors for extreme cases
Are you scared and do not have anywhere to turn? talk to us and maybe we can offer you some solution or a resolution. Many females are afraid of confronting their families in such cases while we can talk to their families as an establishment for their support
It can be very tough to decide and might take a lot of courage especially in the Pakistani society but remember if you give into a blackmailer, you will get seriously stuck and with each passing day, the situation is going to get worse and the demands are only going to increase with time
Even if you made a mistake and are a victim of revenge porn/ blackmail, it will be much better to confront the truth then to try to hide it as this is a personal vendetta and the only objective is to hurt you as much as possible even in the most private if ways - Your only 02 choices will be to give in or fight the situation
I am married 39 year old man and an ICT professional based in Islamabad, some people refer to me as a software engineer, web & software developer, etc but I categorize myself as an ICT professional because my expertise is not only in IT but networks as well
The reason I started this helpline/ foundation was due to pure coincidence and the fact that these fields were related to my profession
If you think we are doing a good job and are really assisting people, please free to donate whatever you like as presently we are self funded, without any grants and I am covering all expenses out of my own pocket
I am constantly looking for individuals who wish to offer their professional expertise pro-bono or free to the needy - This is great for retired people and for final year students to gain experience - We need mental health professionals like psychiatrists / psychologists and legal counselors like advocates or lawyers for victims
Great opportunity to start helping & getting practial experience
A wonderful opportunity to keep busy, pass on experience and help ones in need
Increase your self worth by helping the needful, give back to your community
In my research I found that NGO's or Foundations, a public service or non-profits are not openly declaring their income (grants, donations, award prizes) and neither their expenses at least in Pakistan
In order to keep my foundation transparent, I decided to declare all financials openly for anyone to scrutinize as this will serve two purposes, one would be to remain transparent to everyone so they can see where the funds are going in reality and what are the real expenses. Secondly, this will also give me the ability to catch any irregularities that I personally miss
Presently, I have not found any Non-Profits, NGO's, Foundations, etc declaring their financials in Pakistan for public scrutiny and are not even willing to share their technical/ procedural information or knowledge set to help or co-operate with others in creating more such organizations. Unfortunately, in my communications, most guarded their working domains like you would your bank account and most are only friendly towards donors or the incoming $$$, journalists or reporters who can give them media exposure or people who award prizes or are able to influence such indirectly - It has stopped being about helping
