The "Theatre for Development" project staged by Struggle for Change (SACH), a Pakistani non-governmental organization is working with the UN refugee agency to sensitize Afghans on their rights and obligations as refugees.
"We use theatre for development as a tool to raise awareness on a range of issues affecting the Afghan community. It focuses on daily practicalities and is easy to understand," said Khalida Salami, the executive director of SACH, about the community-based, interactive approach. "Our team performs on different topics such as police harassment, torture, sexual and gender-based violence against women and children."
There are currently some 1.8 million registered Afghans living in Pakistan.
