The primary objective of this initiative was to provide journalists with the necessary tools to report accurately, independently, and inclusively, while prioritizing their safety.

The five-day training program took place in Islamabad and drew journalists from various parts of Punjab, including Faisalabad, Khanewal, Rawalpindi, and Bahawalpur. The sessions were led by a team of experienced trainers who shared valuable insights into different facets of journalism in Pakistan through engaging discussions and activities.
