Towards a more tolerant and progressive Pakistan

About

Tolerance is critical in our ever-changing world. Communities are being polarised leading to bigotry, radicalisation and dissent. The campaign aims to start a social dialogue and create a platform to develop an implementable programme to promote tolerance within the country.

The inclusive campaign welcomes organisations and communities to participate, thereby contributing to the national effort in its journey from a tolerant to a progressive Pakistan.
