In our own little way we have but I agree the big steps needed have not been done so. There is an NGO in the works, tentatively we're calling it Malala Education Corps. it aims to work on Malala's goals concentrating on Malala's goals of girls education.
Save for Edhi, Pakistani NGOs have the reputation of gobbling up large amounts of foreign and domestic money while delivering as little as possible. Furthermore, since NGOs are so unaccountable and Pakistan so dangerous, an NGO originally devoted to these goals might soon be compelled to do the opposite or be dissolved entirely.
While usually not moneymaking, mobilizing the crowd on the street can be very effective indeed. As David Brinkley wrote in his book
Washington at War, one African-American labor leader wrested civil rights concessions from President Franklin Roosevelt with merely the threat to carry out a mass demonstration:
Give me the civil rights commission I want or else I'll bring 100,000 demonstrators to the streets of Washington next month. Roosevelt hemmed and hawed but capitulated: he knew the fellow had the connections to carry it out and Roosevelt would do nothing to jeopardize the war effort. Better the "Negroes" be employed in wartime industry - compelling whites who didn't want this to accept Negro workers nonetheless - than disrupt the capital.
A bit unfair. While it is easy to ask whether people will walk the talk, the reality is plenty tough. When ideals meet bullets, it is not as easy a choice. Those Pakistanis who actually stand up openly to this lot are the bravest persons in my book. Not everyone can be expected to be that brave. Asking people to do the job the state seems unwilling to is too big an ask, I think.
My point it that to improve matters easy choices don't suffice and one has to stick one's neck out. Still, I agree that suicide is not the answer.
Yet other countries have faced similar dilemmas and their citizens found acceptable ways to proceed without undertaking extreme risks. Also, it seems a shame to deny people the opportunity to recognize and exercise true courage, rather than phony stuff like loudly proclaiming that "It must be the victims' fault -".
I'm not a Pakistani. I can bring up strategic parallels and historical examples but Pakistanis have to find and create their own tactics.
