Women and children are the extremely vulnerable groups especially in the phase of displacement Youth is the potential group which was under the influence of extremists so its vital to change their mind through peace education and involvement in healthy activities ? Women, youth & children
Activities with women, youth & children Youth -Boys Youth, especially the male are the most vulnerable under current situation of unrest and dependency. Being the easiest target for Taliban in the recent past, they were mostly convinced by the actions taken by them. At the moment, they are just like aimless missiles and it’s the time to properly guide and control them and keep them engaged in constructive work like functional literacy, life based skills, marketable skills training, recreation and above all, sensitization for tolerance and conflict resolution. We have to give them attention right now to protect them from any kind of destruction
Activities with women, youth & children Youth - Girls The young girls are the most deprived segment as they are more restricted in such displacement. The girls up to seven to eight years are observed roaming around but above that age, they are confined to their curtained location inside the poultry farm (according to their culture). The awful combination of strict religious norms and oppressive tribal culture has added to the agony of these women.
