Conflict Resolution
There is a dire need to support
the initiatives of the government at civil society level as lack of
civil society involvement in addressing the issues of peace and
conflict resolutions is one of the important element missing in the
war against extremism and violence in this part of the world. SPADO
being a civil society organization is addressing the issues of
sectarian extremism, intolerance and pluralism through the active
and practical participation of religious scholars, youth and media.
The main goal of the initiative is to contribute into the
development of a peaceful and tolerant society where communities and
ethnic groups in Pakistan particularly in Khyber PukhtunKhwa and
Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) adjoining Afghanistan
lives in peace and harmony.
Various events and trainings have been arranged for Imams (leaders
of 5 times prayers) on sectarian violence, conflict prevention,
management and mutual co-existence. A dialogue of prominent
religious scholars, academia, media, government, intellectuals and
representatives of civil society organization on inter-communal
violence was also arranged the outcomes of which were widely
disseminated.
