After a year-long exercise to train university students on interfaith harmony and social peace, Pak Institute for Peace Studies (PIPS) selected 50 young observers (students) from across the country to monitor freedom of faith violations and hate speech. A two-day training program was conducted on 9-10 January in Islamabad in this regard. The event was part of a PIPS initiative to train and engage youth for social cohesion and interfaith harmony in Pakistan. The selected youth were trained to be observers on hate speech and freedom of faith violations.
