The Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM) is a social movement that emerged in Pakistan in 2017. It advocates for the rights and protection of the Pashtun people, who primarily reside in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province and parts of Balochistan. The movement seeks to address issues such as enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and discrimination faced by Pashtuns, particularly in the context of the ongoing conflict in the region. Led by figures like Manzoor Pashteen, the PTM organizes peaceful protests and rallies to raise awareness about these injustices. The movement emphasizes the importance of human rights, justice, and accountability, aiming to unite Pashtuns and promote their cultural identity. Through its efforts, the PTM has gained significant attention both nationally and internationally.
