Today is #LiteracyDay!

Imagine not being able to read life-saving information, like the instructions for your medicine. This is the harsh reality for more than 60 Million #Pakistanis and 763 million #youth and #adults around the world who lack basic #literacy skills.

#Education is a basic human right, as recognized in #Pakistan's Constitution (Article 25-A), mandating free and compulsory education for children aged 5-16. Despite this, Pakistan currently has the world’s second-highest number of out-of-school children.

The genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda was neither an accident nor unavoidable.

As we remember the bloodshed 28 years ago, we must recognize that we always have a choice:

To choose humanity over hatred; compassion over cruelty; courage over complacency.

Let us challenge stereotypes!
