Continuing engagement on our ongoing research, “Tracing Child Migrants’ Education Access, Continuity, and Quality Amidst Climate-Induced Disruptions in Pakistan”, CFHR organised a multi-stakeholder consultation in Karachi, in association with DARE-RC, to present emerging findings from the study.

Findings are derived from data collected across four research locations in Sindh: i) New Sindhabad, Karachi, ii) Gulshan-e-Syed Tent City, Karachi, iii) Gharo, Thatta, and iv) Jhuddo, Mirpur Khas. The study illustrates challenges climate-induced child migrants (CCMs) face in educational access, continuity, and quality after a climate event and associated migration.

The consultation convened representatives from Sindh Education and Literacy Department (SELD), Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA), International Organization for Migration (IOM), academics, sector experts, and so forth, to deliberate on the findings and discuss the way forward. CFHR will host another round of consultations in the coming months to disseminate final findings and recommendations from the study.

On 31st January 2026, CFHR conducted a Community Taskforce Training in Peshawar, KP, with 13 members (6 female, 7 male) of our Community Taskforce combatting Trafficking in Persons (TIP). The training aimed to help participants understand TIP and recognize common signs of trafficking in their communities. Through participant-led discussions and interactive learning, members explored ways to raise awareness, support at-risk individuals, and collaborate within their communities — all key steps toward building resilient and informed communities against trafficking.
