Vision
PTN envisions a peaceful co-existence amongst people and states of the region.
We promote gender equality by creating inclusive spaces for dialogue, training, and advocacy. Through public forums and capacity-building initiatives, we empower communities to challenge inequality and advance gender-responsive development.
We empower communities to actively participate in local governance and hold their leaders accountable through forums and social accountability projects.
PTN works with local and religious leaders to address the root causes of conflict such as extremism and support community efforts to prevent it.
We teach communities about international human rights laws, equipping them with the knowledge to advocate for their rights, with special attention to vulnerable groups like women and children.
Our research informs our programs and helps us advocate for policies that lead to peaceful and just societies.
