Youth Parliament has achieved the title of “The first and the largest Youth Platform of Pakistan” and set a record of conducting more than 1000 programs, events, activities, social campaigns and TV shows which none organization has done so far. Youth has got not only their recognition but also found a platform to launch activities for ensuring rights of youth. A way to youth empowerment has been provided through youth engagement.
Youth Parliament Pakistan is a project launched in 2007 by the PILDAT to engage youth in Pakistan in healthy discourse and expose them to the democratic process and practices. Members of Youth Parliament Pakistan are selected for duration of a year at a time. The first batch of Youth Parliament Pakistan was selected in 2007 and from thereon, Youth Parliament has had three batches so far including 2007 batch, 2008-09 batch and 2009-10 batch.
Establishment and facilitation of the Youth Parliament Pakistan is part of PILDAT’s focus on youth in the country and youth’s awareness education and training in the norms of politics and democracy in the country. PILDAT strongly feels that sustainable democracy and the sustainability of sound democratic institutions in Pakistan is not possible without youth’s involvement in the democratic and political process even if this involvement is simply as a citizen or voter.
The Youth Parliament Pakistan project is currently supported by the Royal Danish Embassy, Islamabad in recognition of the importance of young people’s involvement in democracy and democratic practices in Pakistan.
