The participants of the consultative meeting, mostly having legal and academic background, however, pointed out that there were many laws that could help in ensuring every man and woman’s right to ownership. They stressed the need for simplifying procedure and implementation of laws at grassroots level. The copy of the draft that sought changes to preamble and sections 1,2,3,4,5 of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Enforcement of Women Ownership Rights Act, 2012 was circulated among the participants. It says that Islamic Sharia provides equal guarantee for the protection of the property of men and women. “The Constitution of Pakistan and Section 3 of Khyber Pakhutnkhwa Sharia Act 2003 enjoin upon the government to legislate with the respect to the protection of the said right,” adds the draft law. The draft also talks about stopping a person from violating right of the ownership or possession of a woman. The draft law proposes that this violation should be made punishable with imprisonment of either a term not exceeding five years and fine not exceeding Rs50,000. The proposed law also says that whenever a person is convicted of an offense under the law, the court shall hand over possession of the property, on account of which the person has been convicted, to the rightful owner. During their critique, one of the panelists, former head of Judicial Academy Khwaja Wajihiuddin called the preamble “a bit self-defeating”. He stressed the need for proper definitions. Fasihuddin, a police officer, said that he himself witnessed the long and complicated process and delays that deprived people of right of ownership in their life time. The Globalization Bulletin Women Mohammad Nadeem, a legal expert, also shared his views on the occasion. Neelam Turo, chairperson PCSW, said that the consultative process would continue to come up with a comprehensive draft law that could help women to get their right of ownership. https://www.dawn.com/news/1386174 MANSEHRA TEENAGE GIRL ACCUSES ‘KIDNAPPER’ OF ASSAULT Dawn January 31, 2018 MANSEHRA/HARIPUR: A teenage girl here on Tuesday alleged that she was kidnapped from Khushala Dogha in Oghi tehsil some three months ago and assaulted during the captivity. “I was kidnapped and taken to Rawalpindi where the kidnapper raped me when I refused to marry him,” she told a local court. Recording her statement under Section 164 of Pakistan Penal Code, the girl said that the suspect along with his father and two accomplices kidnapped her from her village and forced her to marry him but she refused which infuriated him and he sexually assaulted her. The victim family presented her before the court of Senior Civil Judge Zahid Hussain Shah for recording her statement as she managed to come back home. She said that she told the suspect that she could not marry her as she was already married. “He sexually assaulted me and threatened to kill me if I put up resistance,” she alleged. Oghi police that had already lodged an FIR against the suspects and his accomplices following kidnapping of the girl three months ago, started raids for the arrest of suspects in case. In Haripur, the court of judicial magistrate granted to police two-day physical remand of five alleged rapists and blackmailers of a schoolboy. The suspects included a policeman and two sons of a councillor. A resident of Khalabat Township lodged a criminal case against a constable of Elite Force and his two accomplices for molesting his eighth grader nephew. The suspects, according to FIR, took the student to a rented room on Dhenda Road where they molested him one after the other and also captured the offense on mobile phone camera. They intimidated the victim to keep mum otherwise they would upload the video clips on the social media. The victim, according to police, concealed the ordeal out of fear. However, sons of a local councillor also started blackmailing the victim when the three alleged rapists shared the same video with them. However, the victim informed his family. Police on Saturday night registered criminal case against the three alleged rapists and two blackmailers. Police arrested all the five suspects on Monday and produced them before the court of Judicial Magistrate Aftab Khan, who handed them over to investigation staff on two-day physical remand. The Globalization Bulletin Women According to Haripur DPO Syed Khalid Hamdani, the constable of Elite Force, presently posted in Peshawar, has been suspended.

This was stated by Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) Health Services Director General Dr Ayub Roze during a breast cancer awareness symposium organised by the Khyber Medical University (KMU) in Peshawar on Thursday, The symposium had been organized in collaboration with the Shifa International Hospital (SIH) in Islamabad, the Public Health Association of K-P and the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata) and the Khyber Girls Medical College (KGMC) in Hayatabad. During the symposium, a memorandum of understanding (MoU) was also signed between KMU, Shifa International Hospital and the K-PHS to organise mammography tests at SIH at subsidised rates for people of K-P. The Globalization Bulletin Women Dr Roze, Dr Shabina Raza, K-P Public Health Association President Dr Saima Abid, and SIH’s Dr Arif Malik vowed to work together for setting up a cancer registry and population-based breast screening and control system in K-P. Addressing the symposium at the KGMC Auditorium, Dr Roze said that breast cancer is a menace which the female population was confronting at a large scale across the country. He sounded the alarm over the spread of breast cancer in the country, adding that every year more than 40,000 women die from this disease. He hoped that the agreement will help lower the ratio of breast cancer in K-P. Cancer experts said that every female is basically at risk of breast cancer if she is obese, has a family history, or is over 50-years-of-age and leads a sedentary lifestyle. Moreover, a diet which contains a high amount of fat can increase the risk of cancer since fat triggers estrogen which fuels tumour growth. According to recent estimates, experts said that 97 per cent of breast cancer cases occur where there is no family history. https://tribune.com.pk/story/1624290/5-alarming-situation-40000-die-breast-cancer-every-year-pakistan/ LAWS PROTECTING WOMEN RIGHTS NEED IMPLEMENTATION: DURRANI The Express Tribune, February 3rd, 2018. Many laws have been enacted in the country to safeguard the rights of women, but the authorities have failed to implement these with full force.

Mercy Corps, Pakistan ͳ EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The monsoon rains that started in the second week of August 2011 triggered serious flooding affecting more than 5.3 million people. It is reported to have destroyed or damaged nearly one million houses and inundated 4.2 million acres of cropland, prompting the Government of Pakistan to call for support from the United Nations. The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) and the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) for Sindh mobilized its resources relatively quickly, however their response was far too limited compared with the needs of so many people. During the contingency planning phase, they estimated resources adequate to the temporary care of some 50,000 IDPs. The situation had worsened nearly a month after the start of the emergency and the national authorities requested international support. At that point, the NDMA and PDMA indicated that between 5.3 million flood-affected people of Lower Sindh were in urgent need of assistance.

  • The Role of Faith in the Charity and Development Sector in Karachi and Sindh, Pakistan
    Religions and Development Research Programme The Role of Faith in the Charity and Development Sector in Karachi and Sindh, Pakistan Nida Kirmani Research Fellow, Religions and Development Research Programme, International Development Department, University of Birmingham Sarah Zaidi Independent researcher Working Paper 50- 2010 Religions and Development Research Programme The Religions and Development Research Programme Consortium is an international research partnership that is exploring the relationships between several major world religions, development in low-income countries and poverty reduction. The programme is comprised of a series of comparative research projects that are addressing the following questions: z How do religious values and beliefs drive the actions and interactions of individuals and faith-based organisations? z How do religious values and beliefs and religious organisations influence the relationships between states and societies? z In what ways do faith communities interact with development actors and what are the outcomes with respect to the achievement of development goals? The research aims to provide knowledge and tools to enable dialogue between development partners and contribute to the achievement of development goals. We believe that our role as researchers is not to make judgements about the truth or desirability of particular values or beliefs, nor is it to urge a greater or lesser role for religion in achieving development objectives. Instead, our aim is to produce systematic and reliable knowledge and better understanding of the social world. The research focuses on four countries (India, Pakistan, Nigeria and Tanzania), enabling the research team to study most of the major world religions: Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism and African traditional belief systems.

  • Historical Sketch of Peasant Activism: Tracing Emancipatory Political Strategies of Peasant Activists of Sindh
    International Journal Humanities and Social Sciences (IJHSS) ISSN (P): 2319-393X; ISSN(E): 2319-3948 Vol. 3, Issue 5, Sep 2014, 23-42 © IASET HISTORICAL SKETCH OF PEASANT ACTIVISM: TRACING EMANCIPATORY POLITICAL STRATEGIES OF PEASANT ACTIVISTS OF SINDH GHULAM HUSSAIN 1 & ANWAAR MOHYUDDIN 2 1MPhil Scholar, Department of Anthropology, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan 2 Lecturer, Department of Anthropology, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan ABSTRACT Peasant activism in Sindh is very diverse and has its own typical history. Temporally, it has been focused on contextual issues that demand more than just land reforms. Peasant activists have, over the years, pursued roughly articulated, expedient and highly diverse agendas that are enacted by the mix of civil society activists, NGOs and ethnic peasant activists. In this article, which is the result of ethnographic study and the analysis of secondary ethnographic and historical data, effort has been made to trace the formation of peasantivist agendas and strategies in Sindh, particularly tracing it from the peasant struggle of Shah Inayat in 17 th century. The introduction of exploitative Batai system during British rule, the consequent institutionalization of sharecropping, establishment of Hari Committee in 1930s, the launching of Batai Tehreek and Elati Tehreek have been traced in relation to shifting peasantivist agendas. Failure of peasant activists to bring about substantive land reforms and the recent process of NGO-ising of peasant activism, have been analyzed vis-à-vis historical past. KEYWORDS: Peasant Activism, Peasant Movements, N.G.Os INTRODUCTION In this study the genesis of exploitation in peasant communities of Sindh has been elaborated, and the historical analysis of some of the important peasant struggles, rebels, and movements have been done to understand where peasants and peasant activist in Sindh stands now.

At a café a Pakistani man named Changez (Riz Ahmed) tells Bobby (Liev Schreiber), an American journalist, about his experiences in the United States. Roll back ten years, and we find a younger Changez fresh from Princeton, seeking his fortune on Wall Street. The American Dream seems well within his grasp, complete with a smart and gorgeous artist girlfriend, Erica (Kate Hudson). But when the Twin Towers are attacked, a cultural divide slowly begins to crack open between Changez and Erica. Changez’s dream soon begins to slip into nightmare: he is transformed from a well-educated, upwardly mobile businessman to a scapegoat and perceived enemy. Taking us through the culturally rich and beguiling worlds of New York, Lahore and Istanbul, The Reluctant Fundamentalist is a story about conflicting ideologies where perception and suspicion have the power to determine life or death. A MULTI-LAYERED VISION “Looks can be deceiving.” Changez Khan “An Indian director making a film about a Pakistani man.
