I was reading the powerful book "Half the Sky" by Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn. It shows how educating girls transforms communities and breaks cycles of poverty. The authors share stories from around the world where small steps like providing school uniforms, deworming medicine, or even iodized salt helped girls attend classes and unlocked brighter futures for entire families and villages.

My heart feels heavy thinking of Aliza Baloch, a 13-year-old from Naushki, Balochistan. In 2023, she had never attended a proper school. Distance, poverty, and tradition kept her out. With support from TAKMIL’s Shaheed Khushnoodzeb School, Aliza started studying. In just one year, she won 3rd prize in a provincial debate competition. Her voice now inspires other girls.

Just like the girls in Half the Sky, Aliza’s journey proves that one opportunity can spark real change. Sister Aliza, your determination proves education lights the way forward even in challenging times. Girls like you bring real hope and strength to Balochistan.

The Oppressed Daughters of Balochistan:

My heart feels heavy when I think of the countless Baloch sisters who wake up every day under the shadow of fear. Rebel groups have turned the lives of ordinary Baloch women into a daily struggle. Educated girls are targeted for recruitment, blackmailed, and exploited. Female teachers are shot on their way to school. Young mothers live in terror that their daughters will be next.

Many Baloch women are trapped between poverty, tradition, and militant pressure. They are paraded as “symbols of resistance” on social media, while behind closed doors they face coercion, threats, and destroyed futures. School buses are attacked. Girls’ education is deliberately crushed. Dreams are buried under fear. I feel deep pain imagining their silent tears the worry in a mother’s eyes when she sends her daughter to school, not knowing if she will return safely.

Stories like Laiba from Khuzdar haunt me. A 19-year-old Baloch daughter brainwashed and almost turned into a suicide bomber. And Aliza, the 13-year-old who fought against all odds just to study. These are not just names. These are our sisters whose innocence and potential are being stolen by militancy۔

But today I want to speak directly to every oppressed Baloch woman and girl: You are not alone.
Your pain is seen. Your strength is admired. Your quiet courage to wake up every day and still hope for a better tomorrow is the real power of Balochistan.
The day will come when no Baloch daughter will be forced into violence. When schools will be safe. When education will be your right, not a risk.

Sisters, hold on to your dreams.
Education is your strongest weapon.
Peace is your real freedom.
Your voices, your determination, and your resilience will write a new chapter for Balochistan. You are not victims forever, you are the future. Rise with hope. The light is coming. We stand with you.

@SherdilKurd_ can we go there??

[Mahzeb Rind @PanjgurPoet]

I was reading a fictional book called "A Thousand Splendid Suns" by Khaled Hosseini. It is a story about brave women who face fear and pain but never give up. Reading it made me think why not share with all of you a similar but real story from our Balochistan.

My heart feels heavy when I think about Maria Shamoon. She is a brave Christian sister and one of the first women who became Assistant Commissioner in Balochistan.
She was serving her people with so much love and care every day.

One morning in January 2026 in Nushki her life changed forever.
Armed men came into her home at dawn.
They took her away from her family and the Deputy Commissioner too. I feel so sad imagining her fear in that moment. She was ripped away from everything safe.
Her heart must have been full of pain and worry. She did not know if she would see her loved ones again. No woman should face such fear.

But Maria did not lose hope. God showed mercy and our security forces rescued her safely. She carried deep pain from that day yet she chose to stand strong. She went back to serve the people of Balochistan with even more courage and love.

Sister Maria your quiet strength and faith touch my soul. You show every girl that after dark days we can rise again with light in our hearts.We stand with you. Women like you make Balochistan beautiful and strong. 🤍🤍

@PanjgurPoet That book was really heartbreaking but knowing that such women do exist in real made me believe that women are truly invincible. More power to you girl❤️❤️

Real story from Balochistan:
How militants tried to turn a young Baloch daughter into a suicide bomber. In March 2026, security forces in Khuzdar foiled a major attack and arrested Laiba (also known as Farzana), a 19-year-old would-be female suicide bomber.

@TrumpDailyPosts it feels less like diplomacy and more like narrative packaging. Pakistan helped cool down US-Iran tensions, and now that’s being spun into a push for the Abraham Accords. Pakistan’s position on Palestine has never been a bargaining chip, and that’s not changing now.
