Azad Soch is a research-driven organization with the goal of increasing people’s agency and decision-making power.
! سوچ آزاد ۔۔۔ سماج آزاد
At Azadsoch, we believe in our motto: “Soch azad, samaj azad” – “Free thought, free society.”
We aim to empower individuals by presenting research-based perspectives and solutions to hard contested challenges.
Our approach integrates research into discourse, grounding discussions in evidence, facts, and logical analysis, thereby providing a comprehensive exploration of ideas from various standpoints.
What We Do?
Where needed, we establish reading groups to disseminate additional information and engage in Socratic dialogues with individuals, maintaining impartiality in our conversations. As our understanding deepens, we experiment with reforms aimed at driving change. We rigorously study the impact of these reforms using scientific evaluation methods. The findings from this research are then shared through videos and dialogues with policymakers.
Our approach is incremental. We begin by internally deliberating on a social issue, which then becomes the focal point of our work for several months. Utilizing international research, we delve into the underlying dynamics of the issue by studying these issues across different cultures. This provides a foundation for engaging in dialogues with community members to gather their perspectives. Throughout this process, we produce short videos and documentaries to amplify these discussions to a wider audience.
