Youth Engagement & Empowerment

Musawi strengthens youth voices and capabilities by investing in legal education, civic engagement, and participatory reforms. 

Pakistan’s youth make up 64% of the population, with 29% aged 15-29 – making it one of the youngest countries in the world. Yet 29% of youth are illiterate, and only 6% have completed more than 12 years of education. 22.8% million children remain out of school, and 57% of youth are neither employed nor actively seeking work. Despite increased awareness and digital activism, youth face barriers to political representation, hindered by economic exclusion and limited institutional pathways. Musawi seeks to bridge this gap by supporting meaningful youth leadership and amplifying their role in shaping democratic, inclusive futures.
