Pakistan has been facing the challenge of growing radicalization and militancy for the past several years. Realizing the need to counter extremism and radicalization, the civil society and academia has actively been engaged in highlighting the need for consolidated and conscious efforts to develop a counter narrative to tackle the epidemic of radicalization and extremism in the country. Thousands of people have been radicalized and many more continue to fall prey to the militant groups.
