Punjab Youth Affairs Secretary Haroon Ahmad Khan on Sunday said that the Punjab government was planning its first ever strategy to create awareness among youth about their rights and issues. He made the statement at a summit arranged by Bargad, a non-governmental organisation, in collaboration with the Punjab government, titled Adolescent Girls Leadership Summit. The summit was an effort to provide a forum for adolescent girls to enhance leadership and advocacy skills and develop advocacy campaigns for improving access to their rights. The students, talking about their experience, said the youth of the country was generally hesitant to discuss their problems and the campaign would encourage them to be more vocal about their issues.
