Youth are not the leaders of tomorrow — they are the changemakers of today. Bringing together 80 young leaders, Aawaz Change Agents, Youth Icons, and civil society representatives from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab, the Aawaz II National Youth Summit united grassroots voices with policymakers, international partners, and government institutions to accelerate Pakistan’s journey toward inclusion and equality.

Equipped with knowledge, driven by purpose, and united by vision, these young changemakers rose as informed leaders, active citizens, and fearless advocates — confronting the toughest challenges facing their communities, from gender-based violence and child marriage to the exclusion of transgender persons, religious minorities, and persons with disabilities. Their lived experiences were translated into real, actionable policy recommendations over two dynamic days.

At Aawaz II, energy meets innovation, and commitment becomes action — building communities that are more peaceful, more inclusive, and more resilient, today and for generations to come.

In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, this vision is being carried forward in partnership with Omar Asghar Khan Foundation, while in Punjab, PJN stands as the driving provincial partner — together strengthening youth leadership across both provinces.
