Participants were of the opinion that the YCD has provided a platform to all the participating youth to contribute their points of view on the issues that create divisions within our society including their solutions.
They applauded the efforts of the organizers in providing them with an opportunity to have detailed discussion on issues of mutual importance. Due to limited exposure and opportunities of social and political inclusion young people in Pakistan have not been partners in driving their agendas forward hand in hand with policy makers.
Chairperson, Sindh Commission on Status of Women, Nuzhat Shirin, LRF executive director Malik Tahir Iqbal, Yusra Qadir of UNDP, Professor Dr. Ghulam Muhammad Burfat, Chairman-Department of Criminology, Professor Naima Saeed, Department of Criminology, Professor Dr. Abdul Hadi and others spoke on the occasion.
