AZADI, meaning "Freedom" or "Liberty" in Urdu, is an empowerment project based in Baluchistan, a province in Pakistan. It focuses on providing financial independence, empowerment, and a sanctuary to the battered women of Baluchistan through promoting social interaction, skill building, and relaxation. AZADI has a few key spaces: the marketplace, workshops, central social space, and the sound immersive room. In the workshops, women are able to learn traditional handicraft skills, and sell their products in the center's marketplace, which is connected to a mall. The central social space is a designated women only area where users can share experiences, and form bonds. The sound immersive room is a zen space, with natural auditory features and comfortable seating to allow for relaxation.
