Our Challenges are as follows. We Must act wisely & prevent our society.
1) Corruption is a complex social, political and economic phenomenon that affects all countries. Corruption undermines democratic institutions, slows economic development and contributes to governmental instability. Corruption attacks the foundation of democratic institutions by distorting electoral processes, perverting the rule of law and creating bureaucratic quagmires whose only reason for existing is the soliciting of bribes. Economic development is stunted because foreign direct investment is discouraged and small businesses within the country often find it impossible to overcome the "start-up costs" required because of corruption
2) Pakistan’s overall education levels are among the lowest in the South
Asia region and, in fact, in the world: Adult literacy was 50 percent
in 2005, the year the private school program was launched, compared with a literacy rate of 58 percent across the region, according
to World Bank figures. Although around 95 percent of children start
primary school on time, the completion rate is less than 70 percent.
Student learning is also generally low. A test conducted in 2003 by
the World Bank and other researchers as part of the Learning and
Educational Achievement in Punjab Schools study found that, by
the third grade, less than 20 percent of students in rural Punjab
could comprehend a simple paragraph in Urdu and that few could
tell time or subtract double-digit numbers.
3) Beggar Mafia : "The beggar mafia is a huge industry and the perpetrators get away scot-free every time. There is always collusion between the lawmakers and lawbreakers. Some accountability in the system is needed to stop this menace." A report by India's human rights commission said these stolen children are "working as cheap forced labour in illegal factories, establishments, homes, exploited as sex slaves or forced into the child porn industry, as camel jockeys in the Gulf countries, as child beggars in begging rackets, as victims of illegal adoptions or forced marriages, or perhaps, worse than any of these, as victims of organ trade and even grotesque cannibalism".
4) Poverty ALLEVIATION: Hunger, malnutrition, disease, shelter, illiteracy and other poverty
related concerns are challenges that most development agencies,
including the ASEAN Foundation, seek to address. Some ongoing
projects of the Foundation focus on capacity building for better
poverty analysis. Plans are on stream to bring together NGO experts
whose best practices in poverty alleviation can be documented and
shared among member countries.
5) DRUGS: Grandparents are an important family resource in helping today's youth avoid the pitfalls of drug and alcohol use and they play a vital role in the lives of their grandchildren. Since roughly half of all grandparents say they want more information on how to help prevent their grandchild from using drugs and alcohol.
6) Pornography: porn is bad for society. The degradation and objectifying of women as mere sex objects, instead of valuable emotional and intellectual human beings, is wrong. With serial killers, child molesters, rapists, wife beaters, and such, on the rise, our society does not need to provide an easy stimulus for such perpetrators and abusers of innocent people.
7) JUSTICE: According to most contemporary theories of justice, justice is overwhelmingly important: John Rawls claims that "Justice is the first virtue of social institutions, as truth is of systems of thought.
