Pak-Afghan Drug Trafficking and Its Impacts on Pakistani Youth

The complex issue of Pak-Afghan drug trafficking and its devastating impacts on Pakistani youth have been examined in this research study. The drug trafficking problem was exacerbated due to the strained relations, such as mistrust, negligence on the border lines, and external pressure between the countries. The aim of this study is to highlight the critical need to address the issue of drug trafficking and its repercussions on the young generation of Pakistan, who are increasingly vulnerable to substance abuse. In this study, the root causes and consequences of this issue are explored for a deeper understanding of the Pak-Afghan drug trafficking nexus and to inform effective policy interventions to mitigate its impact on Pakistani youth.
