Center for Public Health Gilgit-Baltistan

Policy dialogue on , with parliamentarians & the CM's committee on su***de prevention in Ghizer, was hosted by Rupani Foundation in Old Assembly, Gilgit.

Director ICRD & Center for Public Health Gilgit-Baltistan, Mr. Anayat Baig proposed the "Ghizer Youth's Declaration on Mental Health, 2022" accepted unanimously at the grand youth maraka held on June 2022, as recommendation to this policy dialogue.

Besides that, he also added the following:

1. Non-professional & non-expert engagement to the mental health crisis in Ghizer (& across GB) must be discouraged.

2. Indigenous & contextual input should be at the core of all research and interventions in this regard.

Thank you Ghazanfer Ali Sb.

This was one of the major highlights of Ghizer Youth's Grand Maraka on Mental Health. Our sisters living in private hostels had said this categorically that living in private hostels was a depression trigger for them.
