An inclusive Pakistan will be a society for all

in which every individual, each with rights and responsibilities,


has an active role to play. In order to achieve a society like this
it is important that it be based on respect for all human rights,
cultural and religious diversity, social justice and the special
needs of vulnerable groups, minorities, democratic
participation and the rule of law. It is promoted by social
policies that aim to reduce inequality and create flexible and
tolerant societies that are accepting and inclusive for all.
In order to make Pakistan more inclusive there are several key
areas in which social inclusion objectives need to be integrated;
poverty, employment and sustainable development. Poverty
contributes immensely to social exclusion in numerous
important ways and it has been recognized as one of the key
challenges of our time given the socio-economic condition
Pakistan has been faced with. Secondly, unfortunately power
imbalances between groups with different social identities in
Pakistan has lead to the use of labels to categorize others, often
stereotyping, based on characteristics such as race, age,
physical status, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, and
religious, political and cultural affiliations. This proves to be one
of the greatest problems in creating a more diverse and
inclusive society.
A practical way to create a more inclusive Pakistani society
would be to focus on areas like Sindh whose physical, financial,
literacy, and living state has deteriorated over the years, from a
continuous drought which has sucked Sindh dry of clean water
to drink and for domestic use to an evident divide between
Sindh and other areas stemming from the lack of resources
such as education.
