Protest against forced conversion of Hindu girls conducted by Pakistan Hindu Council

The council champions the Hindu's minority rights and it has been in the news for raising these issues including against the kidnapping, rape and forced conversions of Hindu girls.[8][9]

Collaboration

The Pakistan Hindu Council actively seeks cooperation of other like-minded organizations and individuals to protect minorities's rights and raise awareness.

With the technical assistance of the Press Network of Pakistan, an Islamabad-based media house, a nationwide photo contest has been organized under the subject "All Pakistan Minorities Heritage Photo Contest" [10] seeking photos from Pakistani nationals related to Non-Muslim religious heritage sites of worship, including Hindu, Christian, Sikh, Budh, Jain, Parsi and others.
