Enforced disappearances continue to tarnish the already dismal state of human rights in Pakistan. It has been a problem in the country for many years now. Despite pledges from various ruling dispositions, the required legislations to root out the problem for once and for all have been few and far between. The practice goes unchecked and people continue to be forcibly disappeared without regard for individual rights or legal barriers. There are 2178 unresolved cases of enforced disappearance still pending with the commission of inquiry on forced disappearances. In view of this dismal state of human rights in Pakistan, defense of human rights is in a vanguard position in raising its voice against this blatant violation of individual liberties and macabre parody of fundamental rights in Pakistan. Through engaging in a wide range of activities like training volunteers, pushing for legal reforms and highlighting the plight of families of the disappeared ones, our organization is determined to bring to an end this unjust state of affairs in the country and turn Pakistan into a more equitable and just society. Defense of human rights is a non- profit organization that struggles against enforced disappearances in Pakistan.
