Meta has reinforced its commitment to supporting human rights in Pakistan after a meeting between Human Rights Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar and Meta’s Global Head of Human Rights Policy, Miranda Sissons.
The discussion focused on important topics like ensuring the safety of children online, enhancing digital protections, and promoting human rights advocacy. Both sides agreed on the importance of creating a secure and inclusive digital environment in Pakistan.
A key highlight of the meeting was the success of Meta’s “Take It Down” initiative, a program designed to help people remove explicit images or videos shared online without consent. The launch of its Urdu version was celebrated as an important step towards reaching a wider audience and addressing local concerns effectively.
The conversation also emphasized the need for compliance with digital laws, greater child protection measures, and respecting Pakistan’s cultural values. Meta and Pakistan’s government expressed a shared commitment to tackling challenges like cyberbullying and harmful online content while promoting digital literacy.
This partnership reflects Meta’s dedication to working with local governments and communities to create safer digital platforms. By collaborating closely with Pakistan, Meta aims to empower individuals, protect vulnerable groups, and uphold human rights in the digital age. The meeting marked another step forward in ensuring the online safety and well-being of Pakistan’s youth.
