Centre for Human Rights - Pakistan

On 26 February 2026, Centre for Human Rights (CFHR) hosted a multi-stakeholder consultation in Peshawar to seek input on its ongoing study, “Tracing Child Migrants’ Education Access, Continuity, and Quality Amidst Climate-Induced Disruptions in Pakistan”. The study is conducted by CFHR and commissioned by DARE - Research Consortium.

CFHR presented emerging findings from data collected in four districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP): i) Peshawar, ii) Charsadda, iii) Haripur, and iv) Mansehra, on educational challenges related to access, continuity, and quality faced by climate-induced child migrants (CCMs).

Government officials, academics, and sector experts participated in the consultation, including representatives from the KP Elementary and Secondary Education Department (KPESED), National Commission on Human Rights (NCHR), KP Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA), Child Rights Commission, UNICEF, University of Peshawar, Shaheed Benazir Bhutto Women’s University Peshawar, amongst others.

CFHR will incorporate input of participants in its upcoming research outputs based on the study, and will organise a final consultation in the coming months for policy uptake of the study findings.
