Institute for Peace and Secular Studies (IPSS) is a voluntary effort focused on the people’s agenda. Peace is achievable only if all citizens irrespective of their religion, gender and ethnicity are equal in the eyes and functioning of the State. We consider poverty, inequality, illiteracy, intolerance and greed as the main reasons behind War, Terrorism and Extremism. Thus equal rights, responsibilities and opportunities for all citizens are the only guarantee for a peaceful society, which is not possible without a Secular State.

We have been working on multiple causes for many years. Our focus areas are:

• Pakistan-India Peace and Visa Policy Relaxation
• De-Radicalization of Youth
• Countering Religious Extremism and Violence
• Campaign for Equal Rights of Religious and Ethnic Minorities
• Campaign for a Nuclear-Free South Asia
