In Pakistan, adolescents are growing up in a rapidly changing digital environment that brings both new opportunities and significant risks. Many young people especially those in underserved areas struggle with challenges such as cyberbullying, online exploitation, and harassment. Cultural barriers and social stigma often make it difficult for them to speak up or seek help.
To address these concerns, Khwendo Kor (KK), under the NCA Project, organized a two-day training on Prvention against cyber and physical harassment for adolescent boys and girls across ten school which include five girls School and five boys School . Through this initiative, Khwendo Kor trained 300 students across ten schools in Peshawar. The training aimed to raise awareness about digital safety, personal boundaries, consent, and respectful behavior, while equipping participants with the skills needed to identify, prevent, and respond to both online and offline harassment.
Through interactive discussions and practical activities, students learned how to navigate the digital world more safely, build self-confidence, and promote mutual respect within their communities. Khwendo Kor will continue to work closely with partners, schools, and communities to strengthen protection mechanisms, enhance digital literacy, and encourage positive behavioral change among youth.

As part of our ongoing response to community needs, Khwendo Kor distributed hygiene kits and direct cash assistance to families in District Swabi. This initiative was designed to safeguard health, ensure safety, and uphold the dignity of flood-affected and vulnerable households. The distribution of hygiene kits aimed to help families maintain proper sanitation and prevent the spread of diseases following the floods, while cash assistance enabled them to address urgent necessities and begin restoring their livelihoods. Particular focus was placed on supporting women-headed households and those facing heightened vulnerability. Khwendo Kor continues to stand with communities during times of crisis, addressing their immediate challenges while fostering long-term resilience and well-being for a more secure and sustainable future.
