Street Children for Peace Building
The latest episode of Jwandai Jazbey (Alive Spirit) discussed the initiative of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Government’s Zamung Kor, a shelter for homeless children.
Among the studio guests were Mr. Syed Imtiaz Hussain Gilani, Chairman Zamung Kor and Mrs. Fauzia Aleem, Director Zamung Kor. Mr. Gilani was of the opinion that the growing intolerance and extremism is a result of an imbalance in society caused by various factors. He added that children and women are the most vulnerable to abuse and harassment. He said that the state has to declare education as the top most priority by allocating more budget to it. He further added that it is imperative to make our education equitable to compliment the National Action Plan, as it is an antidote to all that Pakistan has suffered in the last 30 years.
Mrs. Fauzia Aleem emphasized that the state must look into the establishment of more shelters for the street children so that they don’t fall prey to terrorists and extremists. A report was aired during the program and children shared their experiences of living in Zamung Kor.
One call was received during the show.
