Our Founding Story
Our Founding Story
Youth Justice Network was founded in response to the stark realities faced by young people across Pakistan. Our founders witnessed a society where injustice, corruption, and inequality were pervasive: public officials often prioritized personal gain over the welfare of citizens, education institutions focused more on profit than quality learning, and vulnerable communities especially children and minorities were systematically neglected.
Everywhere we looked, the signs of a broken system were evident: schools with inadequate resources, rising child labor, trafficking, gender discrimination, lack of civic awareness, environmental degradation, and youth left without guidance or opportunities to thrive. Ambitious young minds were being held back by a system that often stifled creativity, leadership, and initiative.
It was clear that youth were not just the future , they were the present, but they lacked platforms to raise their voices, develop their skills, and take meaningful action. Inspired by this urgent need, YJN was created as a national movement to empower youth, strengthen leadership, and champion justice.
Our mission goes beyond advocacy. We are committed to youth development in all dimensions. Cultivating ethical leadership, civic responsibility, professional skills, and social awareness so that every young person has the confidence and capability to drive positive change in their communities and across Pakistan.
From child protection campaigns to environmental initiatives, educational reform advocacy, and civic engagement programs, YJN equips youth to confront societal challenges, address systemic injustices, and become leaders who act with integrity, compassion, and vision.
YJN is more than an organization. It is a response to the inequalities we witnessed, a platform for the unheard, and a movement for youth to lead Pakistan toward justice, opportunity, and sustainable development.
