@KameliaKilawan @Sid_huma @AJStream Being a female I was often told that this field is not for "respectable" women... so i made sure to step into this profession to make space for other respectable women!

Talha Ahmed doing what many influencers refused to do. Using his platform to raise voice for medical community, especially female doctors. Brilliant!

[Shiraz Hassan @ShirazHassan]

Dr. Sundas Zahid from Mansehra, who has loved animals and birds since childhood, is now actively working for wildlife conservation and has even authored a book on the subject. She says that due to a lack of awareness, people often harm wildlife out of fear, making public education and awareness essential for its protection.

A reminder that 80% of all acid attack survivors in Pakistan are women. This isn’t random violence, it’s gendered violence.

When the owner comes home, puppy comes downstairs to greet her, peeking out from each floor to make sure the owner is still waiting..🐕🐾😊❤️

In this extreme heat, let us also remember the birds and animals around us. A small bowl of water kept outside your home, balconies, terraces, shops or offices can become a lifeline for a thirsty bird. May compassion guide us in these difficult days.

[Tahira Animal Welfare Foundation - TAWF @tawf_uk]

The Lahore High Court’s direction has created an opportunity for the Punjab to shift from reactive violence toward long-term policy implementation based on vaccination, sterilisation, and public awareness. The choice of the provincial authorities will ultimately determine not only the future of stray animal welfare, but also Pakistan’s commitment to humane governance and evidence-based policymaking.

Terrible news coming out of Quetta...

[Iftikhar Firdous @IftikharFirdous]

The deaths from the suspected suicide bombing have risen to 23. The bodies have been brought to the civil hospital in Quetta, around 47 injured as well. These are only partial figures as official are still busy with rescue efforts. Initial investigations say that the train had stopped at the paramilitary installation to attach new bogeys to the train for families of personnel returning home for Eid. Most of the casualties are women and children.

Alhamdullilah, The Honorable Islamabad High Court has issued a landmark reported 25 page judgment on the rights of stray dogs and animal rights in Pakistan. It was an honor arguing this matter at length as an animal law expert but this victory is a collective one as so many

In Nepal, there is a festival called Kukur Tihar where people express gratitude to dogs for their loyalty and companionship.

[Laiba Zainab @Laiba_Zainab]

Is Pakistan’s PECA law protecting citizens or suppressing dissent?

Introduced in 2016 to combat cybercrime, the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA) has undergone major changes over the years. With the 2025 amendments, new powers have been introduced—from regulating social media platforms to penalising “fake news.”

But critics argue the law is vague, open to misuse, and increasingly used to target journalists, activists, and even ordinary citizens.

What does this mean for freedom of speech in Pakistan?

Is this about protection or suppression? Watch till the end and decide.

Thank you for your insights @alihamzaisb @sarmadaali1

"The Islamabad High Court imposed a permanent ban on the poisoning, shooting, and indiscriminate killing of stray dogs in the federal capital, directing authorities to implement a 'catch, neuter, vaccinate and release' programme for controlling the population."
