A nation of 250 million turned its back in this crucial hour, leaving him alone as he mourned the loss of his son 💔. Tragically, this wasn’t the first time, nor will it be the last, as the majority continues to abandon their countrymen in times of need. Pakistan—a land where diverse groups with little in common, apart from a religion they barely uphold, were forcibly united to form a country—has since remained under the control of the same forces that brought it together. This control exists to ensure that both internal and external powers can secure their interests in the region by any means possible. The Outcome: Division, conflicts, and fights among groups have become the norm. Poverty grips millions, and people face constant struggles in their daily lives. Cruelty and oppression overshadow justice, leaving many to suffer in silence. Hunger and malnutrition are widespread, with little to no access to proper medical care or education. The rule of law is nearly absent, and injustice thrives unchecked. Meanwhile, the only ones benefiting from this chaos are the internal and external powers, who ensure the situation remains this way to secure and advance their interests, no matter the human cost. #Pakistan #Unity #Nation #Tragedy #History #Loss #Struggle #Injustice #HopeForChange #RegionalInterests #Accountability #Humanity #IslamabadMassacre

Is this democracy and republic of pakistan? or republic of elites and establishment?

𝗔𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗶𝗻𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲. A young girl in Lahore has been hurt in a terrible crime, and it’s deeply upsetting to see these things still happening. It’s even harder to accept when justice seems so far away. This isn’t just one case — it’s part of a bigger problem with the rising violence against women in our country. When will we do more to protect our women and girls? We need to do more than just talk about it: • Victims need support — emotionally and legally. • Criminals must be punished — quickly and fairly. • Communities must come together — to raise awareness and help make things safer. It’s time to speak up and take action. Let's not wait for another tragic incident to push us into action. Together, we can and must create a safer world for our future generations. The Quran reminds us: وَاتَّقُوا فِتْنَةً لَا تُصِيبَنَّ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا مِنْكُمْ خَاصَّةً ۖ وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ شَدِيدُ الْعِقَاب" And fear a trial which will not strike those who have wronged among you exclusively, and know that Allah is severe in penalty.” (Quran 8:25) This verse depicts the responsibility to prevent wrongdoing when we stay silent, we become a culprit. #ZeroToleranceForRape #ZeroToleranceForViolence #SupportVictims #StrongerTogether #RiseYourVoiceAgainstCrime

Say No to Child Marriage: Protecting the Future of India. The literacy rate is also very low, around 50%, which is surprising considering the female literacy rate is below 48%. However, government data presents a different picture. It is key factor of the situation. It is surrounded by Aravali hills and majority of tribal population. In Udaipur district of Rajasthan, India, the practice of child marriage persists despite legal prohibitions and societal awareness campaigns. While tradition and cultural norms may influence this practice, it's crucial to recognize the detrimental effects it has on individuals and society as a whole. Child marriage robs children of their childhood, denying them the opportunity for education and personal development. Many young brides are forced to abandon their schooling, perpetuating cycles of poverty and limited opportunities. This not only affects their individual well-being but also hinders the overall progress of the community. Moreover, child marriage poses serious health risks, particularly for young girls who are not physically or emotionally ready for marriage and childbirth. Complications during pregnancy and childbirth are more common among underage brides, leading to higher maternal and infant mortality rates. Additionally, these young brides often lack the agency to make informed decisions about their reproductive health, further exacerbating the risk. Furthermore, child marriage perpetuates gender inequality by reinforcing traditional gender roles and limiting girls' autonomy and opportunities. When girls are married off at a young age, they are often deprived of the chance to pursue higher education or meaningful careers, perpetuating a cycle of dependency and inequality. It's imperative for authorities, community leaders, and individuals alike to take a stand against child marriage in Udaipur district and beyond. This can be achieved through strict enforcement of existing laws, comprehensive education and awareness programs, and empowerment initiatives aimed at providing girls with the tools and resources to make informed choices about their futures. By saying no to child marriage, we are safeguarding the rights and well-being of children, promoting gender equality, and investing in the future of Udaipur and Rajasthan as a whole. Let us work together to build a society where every child has the opportunity to thrive and reach their full potential. I have started campaign against child marriage and health camps in these areas and our efforts were impacted in the three blocks of Gogunda, Falasiya, and Jhadol of Udaipur district. Our effort was also improved leadership of young people and we worked together during my working period. #Campaignagainstchildmarriage #Educationforall #Rightofeducation #Rightofhealthservices

💔 Rape is never the victim's fault. We live in a world where survivors are often silenced, judged, or blamed for the crimes committed against them. This culture of victim-blaming not only adds to their trauma but also protects the perpetrators. 🚨 It’s time to break the cycle: Believe survivors. Stop asking, 'What were they wearing?' Start asking, 'Why did they commit this crime?' Let’s stand together to support survivors, challenge societal norms, and end the stigma. Change begins with us. 💌 Connect with us: projectahilya@gmail.com #EndVictimBlaming #SupportSurvivors #RapeAwareness #BreakTheSilence #Ahilya #projectahilya

Before now, rape was the penetration of a penis into a vagina and so only men were the known perpetrators. Now rape is inserting a penis or anything into the vagina, mouth, or anus of another person without his or her consent or where consent was gotten by force or deceit. We have cases where maids abuse the children (both girls and boys)of their employers right under their noses and cases of employers raping their domestic staff by deceit, blackmail or force etc. We urge parents to be vigilant and intentional about protecting their children against abuse. We also urge victims of sexual violence to report these cases, in order to break the cycle of abuse by ensuring that perpetrators are accountable for their actions. #UnitetoProtect #EmpowertoThrive #AKSVAPPLawat4 #VAPPLawAwarenesstoAction
