Sports for Development and Peace
Kafka uses sports as a development tool to prevent violent extremism among youth through enhancing tolerance and resilience. It has been engaging children, young people and girls to teach them life-skills, social and moral values through team-based inclusive sports activities. During these activities, the beneficiaries experience critical thinking, empathy, integration, team-work, and belonging.

Girls Education
Kafka is a strong supporter of gender equality and girl’s education. We have been doing digital media advocacy to highlight girl’s education as a significant issue also in 2015 we have initiated a girl’s education policy dialogues. The idea behind the dialogues was to raise this issue among influentials to modify and implement the existing policies. In addition, Kafka has started Girls Education Live Forum and ‘Donate a School Bag and Educate a Girl’ unique campaigns.

Note: In Pakistan, 22 million children are out of schools and half of them are girls (Alif Ailaan).

Stop Child Marriages
Kafka is a member of the #GirlsNotBrides global campaign to end child marriages. We having been campaigning to modify THE CHILD MARRIAGE RESTRAINT ACT 1929 Punjab, Pakistan. We organize policy dialogues, empower young people on the issue to make them agents of change and use digital media advocacy to strengthen our campaigning that was started in 2013.

Note: It is estimated that 21% of girls in Pakistan are married before the age of 18. Child marriage in Pakistan relates to tradition, culture, and customary practices, to address this issue.
