It is observed that when the civil society makes a response to the terrorist, extremist or inhumane activities, it is hardly reported or noted. #PakistanFightsBack is created to collect and collate those responses, that the mainstream or hot media doesn’t covers.
This project is going to create an alternate timeline. A space where we could log the positivity. The answer to the sufferings. This will foster hope among those who are disheartened and those who have only seen the one side of the story.
2. Pakistan Fights Back is a Social
Innovation Based Project Initiated by
HIVE Khudi & PYA
3. Introduction
It is observed that when the civil society
makes a response to the terrorist, extremist or
inhumane activities, it is hardly reported or
noted. #PakistanFightsBack is created
to collect and collate those responses, that the
mainstream or hot media doesn’t covers.
4. Project Summary
People now a days are flooded with the reports of
extremism and terrorism. But what they don't
witness are the responses to all those
atrocities. People are suffering from Breaking News
Syndrome! PFB is a community based news
gathering portal created to gather and disseminate
the good news, the rational response, the
democratic reply.
5. Problem Statement
A good news isn’t considered a news
at all.The negative, dramatized and
bolstered reporting of atrocities and
crime have created an illusion that
Pakistan isn’t a developing state, it is
painted as a fragile and failed state.
6. Outputs Achieved
1. Website Designed and Launched
2. Form for Data Generation Designed
3. A simple logging system established
4. Data of More One Hundred Events Logged
7. Innovation Element
• Normally such projects rely on an email
system and rely completely on an Web
Admin
• We have a very systematic logging system
• Which just need authorization, thus
streamlining the process.
8. Hurdles Faced
• Outreach, reaching out people and
organizations.
• Some activists or organizations have
speculations that their data would be misused.
• If a certain organization agrees to log their data
than the other organization being egotistical
would avoid our service.
9. Future Plans
• A wiki, a news portal, citizen journalism
based magazine, these all are future
possibilities.
• This project doesn't needs much
financial input.
• What it really needs is commitment.
