]]> Our Pakistan report presents an in-depth analysis of 86 government-approved textbooks used across Punjab, Sindh, and federal school boards, covering a range of subjects and grade levels. This comprehensive review examines how these materials address themes such as diversity, coexistence, gender equality and democracy. While some lessons do encourage tolerance and mutual respect, particularly in isolated sections, the review found that many textbooks still fall significantly short of UNESCO-based standards for promoting peace, respect, and anti-incitement. They frequently sideline non-Muslims and foster hostility towards specific groups such as Jews and Pakistan’s neighbor India. Routinely, religious content is integrated into non-religious subjects, with jihad often framed as armed struggle or defense.

]]> Pakistani student Mah Jabeen credits a new public bus system in her home city with saving her from being stuck at her parents’ house doing chores – or even having to get married. Thanks to the Bus Rapid Transit system in the northwestern city of Peshawar, Ms. Jabeen said she had been able to continue her master’s degree—keeping alive her dreams of becoming a botanist. “My parents had decided to stop my education … because they didn’t like me traveling in the disheveled Mazda wagons,” Ms. Jabeen said, referring to the city’s privately run minibuses while sitting on a shiny BRT bus en route to college. They relented, she said, because the new bus stop was just a few minutes from her front door and dropped her off at the university gates. Launched in 2020, the BRT has proved hugely popular among women in the ultra-conservative city, where burqas and veils are standard female dress and 90 percent of women reported feeling unsafe using public transport in a 2016 survey.
