Devastating earthquake in #Afghanistan’s Kunar province has killed over 150 people, locals say. The scenic villages of Shumash and Ghazi Abad in Noor Gul district suffered the most damage. These now-erased villages are shown in photos taken last year. 👇

@SamarMinallahKh Earlier, people in valleys had a natural whistle before cloudbursts that acted as a lifesaving warning. This traditional knowledge has since been lost, but restoring it could save many lives through this early warning systems. Also means this climate change is not a new

Nature suffered, but local knowledge did what it does-saved lives. Before the glacier flood swept Tali das Nala, shepard Wasiyat, who alerted the villagers timely saved lives. 80% of homes lost, but no lives lost. Wasiyat and many others love and nurture their land and animals,

You will not find women from Buner, Dir, Swat, Gilgit Baltistan, Batagram, Swabi queuing for food, clothes, sanitary pads, because when the roof is gone, dignity is the only shelter left to protect. In Qadar Nagar, Buner, a man searched for his wife’s body, guided only by the

In Buner, floods swept away homes and lives, yet a room stays frozen in time: a bed with flowers, new utensils on taakh, an Apple logo painted on a bride's cupboard. Innocent luxuries in a modest home. Behind every statistic is a life silenced by mud. Photo: @Buner_Official

I spoke to yet another batch of young police officers. It’s been 15 years or more since I’ve been trying to understand practices like Swara, Vani, and Sang Chatti. It hasn’t been easy, but over the years, I’ve met brave fathers in remote villages who stand up against harmful

آج ہر کوئی بلوچستان واقعے کی مذمت کررہاہے کرنا بھی چاہئے، لیکن یہ عورتیں جب اپنے حق کیلئے آواز اٹھائے تو یہی فیسبکی افلاطون شریعت کے بندوق نکال کر ان پر طرح طرح کے الزامات کے ساتھ ساتھ ان کے کردار پر بھی وار کرینگے۔

The #JIRGA ordered their murder. Jirga members of today are not poor villagers--they are well-connected powerbrokers, cruising in oversized jeeps, flaunting guns as badges of honour! Go after them like they went after Bano & Ahsanullah! Show their faces to the world. Focus on

The real face behind our favourite boast — “ہم عورت کی عزت کرتے ہیں” — is exposed when bright as sunshine girls, like #SanaYusuf are silenced. The justifications , the comments— the ifs and buts — are the real face of our society's mindset. There is NO justification for such

#TahiraAbdullah has been arrested for showing solidarity towards the Palestinians. When the state arrests people fighting for a just cause, you know we’re going the wrong way. Standing up for Palestinians is not a crime! #StandWithPalestine

This is a shameful & cowardly act of terrorism. Deliberate targeting of school-going children—whether in drones in Waziristan, Khuzdar, or any other part—is an attack not just on innocent lives but on our collective future. No cause or ideology can justify such inhumanity.

May Noor’s memory live on forever. May this be a turning point. A moment when we finally learn that women’s lives are not up for debate, and justice should never be delayed. All my love and prayers to Noor’s family. I hope this brings them some sense of justice. ❤️
The Supreme Court of Pakistan has upheld Zahir Jaffer’s death sentence. After 4 years of struggle, we finally have #justiceforNoor. This verdict is a reminder that women’s lives matter and their voices will be heard. This is not just for Noor - it’s for all women of Pakistan.

For almost four years, Shaukat uncle kept reassuring us he had full faith in the judicial system. Alhamdulillah the Supreme Court has upheld Zahir’s death sentence today after a strong rebuttal by the prosecution team. I would like to thank the SC for honoring his belief that in
