A ‘safe ordo’ procession entitled ‘We are against extremism and terrorism’ was held by the residents of Shark, a village in the Kara-Suu region of Osh province, within the framework of WPU Erayim’s ‘The introduction of combination of traditional and modern approaches to prevent conflict in the south of Kyrgyzstan’ project.

This event was organized by the members of children and adult self-help groups (SHGs).
