Children delivered compelling speeches aimed at raising awareness about human rights and the devastating toll of terrorism. Their messages resonated with the audience, emphasizing the importance of unity and justice.
Attendees, moved by the harrowing accounts, pledged to bring perpetrators and their accomplices to justice. “Our children have lost their lives because of terrorists,” shared a grieving family member of a victim of the Quetta bombing.
