Safe Digital Civic Space is Essential for Democracy in Pakistan

Fri, September 12, 2025

In today’s digital age, civic participation increasingly takes place online. Yet, threats such as online harassment, censorship, surveillance, and disinformation limit citizens—especially women, youth, minorities, and activists—from exercising their rights safely.

A free, open, and secure digital civic space is not just about access to the internet—it is about ensuring that voices can be raised without fear, that communities can organize, and that accountability can be demanded in a safe environment.

???? Pakistan needs stronger protections for digital rights, inclusive policies for online safety, and recognition of digital civic space as a fundamental part of democracy.

Together, we must safeguard online freedoms so that digital platforms remain spaces for:

✅ Expression without fear
✅ Participation without exclusion
✅ Accountability without repression

???? A safe digital civic space means a stronger, more inclusive, and more democratic Pakistan.
