"Empowering Communities Through Knowledge-Driven Advocacy for Rights and Justice"

WHO WE ARE

The Knowledge Forum (TKF) is a Pakistan-based think tank focusing on research and advocacy across human rights and development streams. Our mission is to amplify the voices of citizens and influence policy change in favor of marginalized communities. 

The organisation’s knowledge-building work seeks to generate critical insights about communities through targeted research, investigation, and reporting. These knowledge products are channelled through strategic outreach to guide stakeholders, including government, civil society, media, trade unions, political parties, and businesses, in identifying and formulating rights-based development solutions. 

TKF leverages its strong linkages with communities and civil society across Pakistan and the wider region to ground its work in lived realities. TKF also partners with independent, state-mandated human rights institutions to amplify community perspectives and promote proactive measures for the protection of human rights.
