This blogpost is part of a weekly series on new stories, blog posts and media we’ve come across and found interesting.
Here’s what we have for you this week:
- We are extremely saddened and upset by the murder of Sabeen – one of the leading human rights activists in Pakistan. There have been many demonstrations and commemorations in her name. Here is one that truly touched a string in our heart:

- A dangerous and alarming state of affairs for women wanting to remain hidden in Pakistan >> Government warns people: ‘Do not buy mobile phones without CNIC copies’. This makes women remaining untraced almost impossible. The Big Brother state of Pakistan hits vulnerable women and activists the most! http://tribune.com.pk/story/872260/precaution-do-not-buy-mobile-phones-without-cnic-copies/

- An inspiring tale: “A campaign to discourage adolescent marriage in rural southern Pakistan has adopted an unusual approach to drive home the perils: peer pressure.” http://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2015/04/16/Teen-girls-in-Pakistan-fight-back-against-early-marriage/31424260269260/
- A heartbreaking poem that says the story of so many Pakistanis:
- A lone woman doing the trade of men: ““I wanted to do business to assist my husband and augment income. Furthermore, I believe women must be economically independent and not always be dependent on husbands.” She recalls she used to work and play like boys in childhood and was the only girl who would go to school by a bicycle. I even learnt how to drive a motorcycle and now I do whole business on bike. Some customers, she says, frequently buy chicken from her and “I consider them my family members”. There are many who want meat delivered at home and I don’t mind providing the service, she says. Anwar Baji, who has four children, has to cope with many issues especially taunts of pranksters and misbehaviour by some rude customers but she holds her own and vows to carry on.” http://www.dawn.com/news/1175995/a-trade-not-for-the-faint-hearted
- The award for most ridiculous Fatwa goes to: Male colleagues should be directly breast-fed at least five times to create a maternal bond. What?!! http://bit.ly/1crEqyZ
