The GIYAN Foundation is a network of human rights activists working to promote and protect human rights. The Foundation also works in the areas of environment, arts and culture, inter-faith harmony and policy activism. Under the human rights theme, the Foundation focuses on civil and political rights, and their programmes on inter-faith harmony aim to raise awareness on diversity of faiths.

The GIYAN Foundation has emphasised the importance of peacebuilding and minority rights in their work. The Foundation organised a peace rally on the issue of religious extremism in the Swat Valley region and also visited Gojra to show solidarity with the victims of violence against a local Christian community in 2009.
