Policy Initiatives

Yojak believes that government policies should be shaped through dialogue with the public
and be based on their sensitivities. Voluntary organizations should focus on fostering this
dialogue and communicating these sensitivities to the government. Yojak has been actively
working with this goal in mind. Primarily, efforts have been made to unite people of diverse
beliefs on a single platform. Additionally, ongoing dialogues with various stakeholders on
specific subjects have also taken place.
