پاکستان دنیا میں بچوں کے حقوق کے حوالے سے موجود بین الاقوامی معاہدوں کا دستخطی ہے مگر جب ان پر عمل درآمد کی بات آتی ہے تو پاکستان کا نام سب سے آخر میں آتا ہے

بچے ۔۔۔ ہمارے معاشرے کا ایک مظلوم طبقہ
Kis ki azadi?
14th August 1947: When women were talked about only for the sake of political sensationalism. When women’s bodies were incised by border-making. When killing daughters became a more honorable deed than risking their rape. When independence fighters threatened each other’s ownership by stealing women. When “Pakistan ka matlab kya La ilaha ilallah” rang in the air. Pakistan ka matlab kya: land is more worthy than a woman.
Queer Shuttling | TQ Salon
I shuttle not only because I am always anxious of others appropriating my narrative, but also because I don’t really know how to process and narrate my queerness, how to come out politically through a narrative that is mine, that refuses to be globalized. Part of the reason for our collective shuttling is our lack of a queer narrative that is local, that is written in our indigenous languages such as Pashto, Balochi, Saraiki, and Balti, that moves beyond mining sufi poetry for (exclusively male) homosexual instances, whose plot line is not given to us by the global allyship of mullah-ism and neocolonialism.
