Why I espouse trend #SindhRejectsForcedConversions - as a journalist, I always avoid being part of activism; but I have been closely covering cases of Forced Conversion. It is not only issue in Sindh as well in Punjab and GilgitBaltistan. In Sindh, we report it.
2/3 Yes, in Sindh, forced conversions are rising like a season, and especially; minor girls are converted to Islam. They give you excuses that girl wanted to merry off to a guy - reason, Hindu religion has class system.

3/4 If you tell them that girl is minor then they tell that girl was inspired by religion. Accused group changes its statements. Girls who belong to rich class are also abducted and converted to Islam.

آخر ڇا جي لاءِ #SindhRejectsForcedConversions کي سپورٽ ڪئي؟ هڪ صحافي جي حيثيت سان مان پاڻ کي ايڪٽويزم کان پاسيرو ڪندي رهي آهيان پر زوريءَ مذهب تبديلي تي مان ڪيترن سالن کان رپورٽنگ ڪندي پئي اچان ۽ ڪيسن کي انتهائي ويجهو ڏٺو آهي.

2/3 انڪري ضروري ٿي سمجهان ته هتي ڪجهه پاسا واضح ڪجن.
سوال ته ڪيس صرف سنڌ ۾ ٿين پيا؟
- مختصر جواب آ ته زوريءَ مذهب جا ڪيس پوري پاڪستان پنجاب ۽ گلگتبلتستان ۾ به ٿين ٿا. سنڌ ۾ اسان انهن ڪيسن کي رپورٽ ڪيون پيا ۽ هي ڪيس سنڌ جي شهر ڪراچي ۾ به ٿين ٿا

ان حقيقت کان انڪار نه ٿو ڪري سگهجي ته سنڌ ۾ هڪ حڪمت عملي سان زوريءَ مذهب کي اُڀاريو ويو آهي. ننڍي عمر جي نڄاڻين کي مذهب تبديل ڪرايو پيو وڃي جيڪي ووٽ ڏيڻ نه ٿيو ڏئي سگهن پر هڪ مذهب کي سمجهن ٿيون ۽ وري ڪنهن وڏي عمر واري سان شادي به ڪن ٿيون

1,000 girls 'from religious minorities are abducted, forcibly converted & then married off to their abductors [yearly] . . . forced conversions are one of the most serious problems facing Hindu and Christian women' - Dr. Ackerman, @unibirmingham. #SindhRejectsForcedConversions Image
Abductions & forced conversions to Islam is a serious problem faced by Hindu & other minority girls (including minors) in Sindh, Pakistan.

We recommend reading Dr. Ackerman's 2018 study discussing the severity of this problem. ⬇️ #StopForcedConversions

What's highlighted by Dr. Ackerman and Journalist Saba Imtiaz (in this piece) is that Islamist religious activists, some shrines, and politicians back these forced conversions, "believing that converting someone to Islam is a way of earning blessings." 👇
