Gohar Sajid
Embroidery Artist
Gohar Sajjid is a founding member of SABAH Pakistan and currently serves as the organization’s co-Chairperson. She mastered the art of embroidery at a young age and supports her fellow embroiderers with marketing and design assistance. Gohar currently lives in the village of Bhutri in Haripur District, Pakistan.
A successor organization of the Sungi Development Foundation, SABAH Pakistan provides skills training, collective bargaining networks, and retail spaces in Islamabad, Karachi, and Lahore that enable home-based workers to sell their embroidery at fair prices. SABAH’s goal is to empower women to create high quality embroidery, become more active members of their communities, and to economically provide for themselves and their families.
SABAH supports women working and living across Pakistan including embroiderers of phulkaris (also known locally as jisti) in the Punjab and Khyber Paktunkhwa provinces and embroiderers of mirror work from Baluchistan province. Both of these rich embroidery traditions have long been important creative outlets for women and historically were connected with wedding rituals.
Today, the embroidery made by Gohar Sajjid and women of SABAH Pakistan help support their local communities, provide financial security for women, and continue local artistic traditions.
