Ab Darnay ki Baat Nahi Hai
 
Bedari theater team performed its play ‘Ab Darnay ki Baat Nahi Hai’ at various locations in Attock. It creates awareness about the newly enacted laws to protect women from sexual harassment. Bedari team is actively engaged with district education and health department to establish anti sexual harassment committees in district Attock, and has successfully managed to establish 14 such committees in the district. Following are some photographs of the performances held at various locations:  
 
 
 
SODIS Paani Zindabad
 
Solar Disinfection (SODIS) is a very simple method to disinfect water. Sustainable Policy Development Institute (SDPI) was doing a project on this issue and organized a poster competition among students of various schools of the twin cities. At this occasion, they requested Bedari to perform a play signifying the ease to disinfect water through SODIS method. Bedari theater team developed a play ‘SODIS Paani Zindabad’ (long live SODIS water), and performed at the prize distribution ceremony held in Islamabad on March 18, 2011.
 
 
 
Qanoon Hona Chaheeda
 
Bedari has been doing a project on violence against women with specific focus on domestic violence. As there is no law in Pakistan to criminalize domestic violence, the culprits in such cases always go scot free.
 
 
Seeing this situation, Bedari has developed a play ‘Qanoon Hona Chaheeda’ (There must be a law). The play emphasizes the need for a law to curtail domestic violence. It looks at the responses of the community, society in general and of the state in particular in tackling the menace of domestic violence.
 
Bedari had premiered this play at Rural Women Conference in Islamabad, and has since held 25 performances in various communities in Chakwal District. Bedari Theater Team would be performing the same play in the communities where its sister organization Cavish Development Foundation is working on the same issue in 25 communities of Rawalpindi District by the end of this year.
 
 
Larai Larai Maaf Karo
 
'Larai Larai Maaf Karo’ (Let’s Fight No More) is another play on domestic violence. It focuses on the negative impact of domestic violence on the community in general and on children in particular. The children also become violent and take violence as a justified way of settling scores.
 
 
Bedari Theater Team has performed this play in more than 40 villages of three districts – Chakwal, Jhelum and Attock.
 
 
 
Mukhlisababd ki Ghumman Ghereyan
 
'Mukhlisabad ki Ghumman Ghereyan’ is a play that focuses on the confusion of the Pakistani youth. Different forces and vested interests are trying to pull them in different directions, and our youth has lost direction in this confusion.
 
 
This play was especially developed for Young Leaders Conference, and it received huge applause from young leaders who remained deeply involved in the play throughout the performance and kept clapping for the team for over 10 minutes at the end of the performance.
 
 
Fasad Nahi, Amn
 
Fasad Nahi, Amn (Say No to War, We want Peace) was developed in the backdrop of religious terrorism and increasing Talibanization of the society. The play encourages the people to claim their culture of music, dance and other peaceful recreations. It also focuses on the negative impact on women and children of the terrorist activities. The play ends with a demand for peace.
