Its leader Zahid Baloch was abducted in March 2014. His whereabouts are not known. 29 year-old Karima Baloch, a psychology student, then became the leader. Karima insisted that the organization uses peaceful means by carrying out demonstrations and marches. It aims to raise the political awareness of the people. However, she also added that any struggle against injustice is legitimate, whether "peaceful or armed."

It is one of the very few organizations that have managed to mobilize women at a social and political level. In 2016 Karima was chosen as one of BBC's 100 Women.
