The recent controversies regarding Malala's collaboration with Hillary & the #AJConf taking funding from genocide-enabling govts should be a wake-up call in terms of who we take funding from/work with & the systems of oppression this might enable in the name of doing 'good work'.
I myself surveyed NA 128 in Lahore last week. 8 out of 10 people did not even know who Aun Chaudhary was. Turns out, he defeats Salman Akram Raja from Lahore today; PTI’s most popular and promising candidate this time around. I mean, what a farcical bulldozing. Don’t tell us to believe this.

If both grown men and women start practising this not only will we raise empowered girls but also foster adults who respect boundaries.

How crazy is it that people who are still benefiting from colonialism & slavery are able to travel to countries they colonised & enslaved freely (i.e. white people) while those who are still suffering the impacts (i.e. Black & brown people) are denied the right to free movement.

Lahore's smog situation is in dire need of attention. Prolonged exposure to toxins means each and every Lahori is at a risk of contracting, if not immediately, in a few years time, a chronic illness. This is a serious Public Health crisis that hardly needs excessive deliberation!
