It is proven by history that rights are never handed out or granted out of good will by those who are in power but demanded and taken by the oppressed through struggle and sacrifice. However for that to happen, people have to be united by overcoming their false divisions like race, religion, gender, ethnicity and nationalism. One of the goals of Rise for Pakistan and International Youth movement is to raise consciousness, fight for the rights of all oppressed segments of the society and try to bring them one platform, because it is only through unity that people will eventually succeed. To achieve this goal we are developing alliances with like minded organizations like PILER. Under this alliance we plan to hold many events in the country to develop a coalition of workers, youth and all those who support this cause.

The Official Video of Song "Suun Lo Ke Hum Mazdoor Hain" is being released on Feb 6, 2013. The song was a tribute to the Baldiya Factor tragedy victims and sung by Jawad Ahmed on 31st Dec, 2012 in a Live Concert with workers in Karachi at Labour Square Site area. Venue: Ambassador Hotel Lahore Time: 4:00 to 6:00 pm

The study circle was organized by Rise for Pakistan on 30th August, 2012 in which the numbers of participants were more than 40 from various educational institutions including University of Central Punjab, University of the Punjab, University of Lahore, National College of Arts, Virtual University, Services Medical College and Civil Services Academy.

Event was organized by Rise for Pakistan and was moderated by Dr. Mubarek Ali and Jawad Ahmad. Dr. Mubarek Ali spoke about the evolution of Feudalism and Capitalism. Feudalism is a European term. In South Asia it is called Jagirdarana nizam. Feudalism started after the fall of Roman Empire. During Roman Empire all the hard manual work including agricultural labor was done by slaves who were acquired after wars.

The basic purpose of this program was to create awareness among the youth about the unfairness of the current social, economic and political systems and invite them to become part of the International Youth Movement (IYM). Speakers on this event were Dr. Shahnaz Khan (Vice President), Dr Mubarek Ali (renowned historian and scholar) and Jawad Ahmad (renowned singer and musician and chair person). Tariq Shahzad, program manager, conducted the program.

The Annual Volunteer Fair of the Forman Christian (FC) College, Lahore, took place on March 19 this year from 10:00AM to 3:00PM. This event is traditionally organized by the FC college students. College management is always supportive of these kind of activities by the students. Rise for Pakistan was invited to participate in this event. So the organization represented by Tariq Shahzad, Program Manager, of Rise for Pakistan set up a stall to introduce the organization to the students.

We received warm response to our ideas from the students and also from the management of the institutions, especially from the University of Central Punjab, a leading educational institution in Lahore. They have a Volunteer in Service (VIS) Program where all students are required to do some volunteer work. 24 students (including 5 females) were participated from University of Central Punjab, University of the Punjab, University of Veterinary & Animal Sciences, Beacon House National University, F.C College and Edge College Lahore.
