Jamhoor – A Drive for Inclusive Democracy

Peace by Youth (PY) proudly announces the launch of the “Jamhoor” campaign, a transformative initiative aimed at amplifying the participation of youth and women in the upcoming general elections of Pakistan, scheduled for February 2024. Derived from the Urdu word for ‘democracy,’ Jamhoor signifies our commitment to fostering a robust democratic process through inclusive participation.

Why Jamhoor?

Elevating Voices, Strengthening Democracy

In the spirit of our mission for a prosperous, peaceful Pakistan, the Jamhoor campaign focuses on two pivotal pillars of our society – the youth and women. These groups represent not just significant portions of our electorate but are also key to the evolution of a vibrant, representative democracy. Through Jamhoor, PY aims to:

  • Empower: Equip the youth and women with knowledge and tools to actively participate in the electoral process.
  • Educate: Raise awareness about the importance of voting and how it shapes the future of our nation.
  • Engage: Create platforms for open dialogue and discussion, encouraging informed decision-making.
  • Elevate: Promote the representation of youth and women in political spheres, ensuring their voices are heard and valued.

Jamhoor Activities

  • Workshops and Seminars: Conducting educational sessions across various regions, focusing on the importance of voting, democratic rights, and how individual participation can make a difference.
  • Awareness Campaigns: Utilizing digital and traditional media to disseminate information about voter registration, electoral processes, and the significance of women and youth votes.
  • Youth and Women Forums: Organizing forums and discussion groups for young individuals and women to voice their opinions, discuss challenges, and propose solutions for a more inclusive democracy.
  • Collaboration with Educational Institutions: Partnering with schools, colleges, and universities to engage students in debates, essay competitions, and mock elections, fostering a culture of political awareness and participation.
  • Community Engagement Drives: Grassroots initiatives in rural and urban areas to encourage registration and voting, with a special focus on areas with historically low women’s turnout.
