Inspire Pakistan

We, the people of Inspire Pakistan, are united in our cause to make Pakistan a better place to live in. We envisage a society that respects the inherent dignity and basic rights of all the members of the human family while also aiming for real social development that is achieved once people of a society demonstrate the virtues of tolerance, patience, and greater awareness towards their rights and those of other members of the society on the basis of equality and the principle of anti-discrimination. It is only through this path that real freedom, justice and peace can prevail- and hence remains the utmost endeavour of Inspire Pakistan.
We, the people of Inspire Pakistan, have a strong conviction in the fact that once such a state is achieved where the people are treated on the grounds of equality and on the basis of their rights and not by virtue of privileges and status; the people living in communities will do so peacefully and in harmony; while progressing towards personal and social development. This is indeed enshrined in the very first article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) through which Inspire Pakistan takes its spirit, energy and zeal; and it reads "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood"

Vision
Inspire Pakistan envisions taking corrective measures geared towards the slowly deteriorating human rights situation in the country. Ethical and moral standards that used to be in high spirits have become virtually non-existent with access to human rights reserved for those powerful and influential enough to demand them.

Inspire Pakistan envisions a nation that considers diversity a cause for celebration and acceptance and not persecution and discrimination. A society in which there is a respect and inherent value of human life on the basis of quality and not ones ethnic, religious, and/or political/social orientation.

By creating linkages with civil society and the government, we aim to nurture a system that builds on our unique strengths, polishes our potential, and enables us all in moving forwards towards becoming a tolerant and just society thereby inducing a long term peace, tranquility, progress and development.

" Empowering a culture of human rights for sustainable development "
