Khudi

Tabloid format magazine, primarily for University Students in Pakistan

Khudi is a new counter-extremism social movement working to promote a democratic culture in Pakistan and peace in South Asia. Its aims include:

Opening up spaces in Pakistani universities to enable students to freely debate the great issues that affect Pakistan today – particularly issues of identity, nationalism, democratic governance, women’s rights and regional stability.

Creating a magazine to allow students from around Pakistan to openly express themselves on these subjects and to share their ideas on how to make Pakistan a better country and how best to challenge different aspects of extremism.

Working through the media to challenge political and religiously-justified extremism and to articulate and defend Pakistan's unique heritage of democracy and pluralism and its traditions of religious tolerance.

Creating a grassroots social movement that can effectively challenge both the causes and symptoms of extremism, and promote a democratic culture in universities and other key areas, through working with existing civil society groups.

Khudi’s website was designed and built in Pakistan and the first edition of the magazine was designed by Cogent in the UK and printed in Pakistan. Future editions of the magazine will be designed in Pakistan.
