The 500+-member organization is a registered, voluntary, nonprofit body with the mission to promote and protect human rights particularly right to access information and expression.Hence, at Pakistan Centre for Development Communication (PCDC), we believe that it is about time for civil society organizations and media to come together and demand for more access to information.
