Art. II, Genocide Convention 1948:
"...genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part...
a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in..
whole or in part;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group."

It is heartbreaking. We can say we share in their pain but we have no idea what that is. Yet, they are being told to bury
their dead so that they can rest in peace? Do some in the corridors of power (& outside) not find it the slightest bit arrogant to recommend to those mourning HOW to mourn? Does anyone have the moral authority to tell the Hazara community this?

This is a time to listen.
The time to act on their demands & respond to their concerns. This is not the time to tell them what to do. We have no right.

And we should be ashamed for allowing this to happen right infront of us.

Re Ali Zafar's latest reward from the Government, let's be clear: this isnt even about whether Ali Zafar is innocent or guilty at this stage. It is a clear signal from the Prime Minister of the country that the issue of sexual harassment should not be taken seriously.
What is equally concerning is that this is the position being taken by the leader of this country at a time when rapists are attacking women on motorways and in their homes. At a time when hardly any woman is safe anywhere in this country.
Problematic even more so because it wasnt just one woman who came forward. As it is, victims of harassment are rarely heard, let alone believed. What you're effectively telling women in this country is: it doesnt matter what has been done to you - what trauma has been

Have compiled a list of Pakistan's misogynist men in politics for ease of reference:
1. Nawaz Sharif (who told women at his rally that they were 'honourable' women, unlike those women who attended PTI rallies; who harassed a foreign female journalist; and who engaged in character
assassination of Shaheed Benazir Bhutto).
2. Shehbaz Sharif (who thought it was important for his party to take credit for the construction of the Motorway while discussing the gang-rape of a woman on that Motorway).
3. Imran Khan (who refused to support Aurat March; who
continues to support policing of women; and who deemed it appropriate to judge who a "good/real mother" is during a TV interview).
4. Asif Ali Zardari (who made a foreign dignatory feel uncomfortable by repeatedly commenting on her appearance & saying he would hug her after the

٢٠١٨ میں ہر روز ١٠ بچوں کو جنسی زیاتی اور تشدد کا نشانہ بنایا گیا تھا. یہ غلیظ ذہنیت جو بچوں کو بھی نہیں چھوڑتی کسی کو پھانسی دینے سے یا قانون سازی سے نہیں ختم ہوگی. زینب, زین.. ہم کتنے معصوم بچوں کے لئے سوشل میڈیا پر آواز بلند کرینگے. ہمارے ہی معاشرے میں یہ بدکاری ہے. اس کو ختم
کرنے کے لئے:
١. ہمیں اپنے بچوں کے ساتھ کھل کر وہ باتیں کرنی ہونگی جو ان کی ذہنی اور جسمانی حفاظت کے لئے ضروری ہے; ٢. ریاست کو فوری طور پر قانون نافذ کرنے والے اداروں کی ٹریننگ میں تبدیلیاں لانی ہونگی, خاص کر وقتی تحقیقات اور حساسیت ے معاملہ مد نظر رکھتے ہوے; ٣. بحیثیت ایک شہری
ہر شخص کی ذمہ داری ہے کہ وہ ایسے واقعات کو رپورٹ کریں اور اگر ہمارے ارد گرد ایسے کوئی واقعات سامنے ہو تو ہماری مداخلت لازمی ہے; ٤. ہمارے سکولوں اور گھروں میں بچوں کو باقاعدہ سمجھایا جائے کہ چاہے کوئی رشتےدار ہو یا کوئی اجنبی اگر وہ کسی بھی صورت حال میں مضطرب ہو, تو اس کا اظہار

Since its the weekend (I have time!) & the teacher in me wants to educate you:

1. She didnt seek permission from her family. It wasnt a family decision. It was HER individual decision. Everyone is free to choose how to live their lives. Family hai; jirga nahi.
2. Please read this document called THE CONSTITUTION. Article 51(1) of the Constitution provides for reserved seats for non-Muslims & women. Article 51(3) will enlighten you on how many seats are reserved. Requires you to do a little reading though. Clearly, you're not a fan...
3. While there are arguments that can be made ag/ reserved seats, the argument you're trying to make is flawed. In the 2018 GEs, over 45% of political parties didnt field a female candidate for direct election. Where women were given tickets was in constituencies where the
