Happy Diwali to our Hindu brothers and sisters in Pakistan and across the world! 🪔 May the light of Diwali dispel darkness, overcome hatred and illuminate every home with peace, love and hope. Our diversity is our beauty, our unity is our strength, and our shared humanity is our greatest bond. ❤️
Wishing our Hindu community in Pakistan and elsewhere a very happy Diwali. May the festival of lights bring hope, peace and happiness to every home. Our diversity is our strength, and every community is an equally valued part of our shared national fabric. Happy Diwali! 🪔

Day 1877: 🏫 Girls barred from secondary schools. Day 1417: 🎓 Women barred from universities. 🇦🇫 Imagine a father who dreams of seeing his daughter become a doctor, teacher or engineer, only to be told that her education must end because she is a girl. The Taliban are breaking the hearts and hopes of millions of Afghan families. #RecogniseGenderApartheid #ACrimeAgainstHumanity #LetAfghanGirlsLearn

Meera’s sister Shaista Abbas gave this final interview to @geonews_urdu in London before losing her life to cancer. Meera says her repeated appeals for a UK visit visa to see her sister were refused by the Home Office. Shaista leaves behind an infant whom Meera hopes to adopt. She is now appealing to the British government to reconsider her visa request @JaneMarriottUK @ukhomeoffice @ukinpakistan
Pakistani film star Meera's younger sister, Shaista Abbas, a qualified lawyer based in London, has passed away after a prolonged battle with cancer, leaving the actress devastated after she was unable to travel to Britain to see her despite repeatedly appealing to British authorities for a visa. Speaking to Geo News from New York, Meera confirmed that her sister had passed away in a London hospital after battling cancer for several years. The actress expressed deep regret that the British High Commission had not granted her a visa despite several appeals, including requests on humanitarian grounds as her sister's condition deteriorated. @JaneMarriottUK @ukinpakistan @ukhomeoffice

Day 1876: 🏫 Girls barred from secondary schools. Day 1416: 🎓 Women barred from universities. 🇦🇫 Gender apartheid is not only about separating women from public life. It is about systematically denying them the knowledge, opportunities and independence that make freedom possible. Afghan girls deserve their full humanity. #RecogniseGenderApartheid #ACrimeAgainstHumanity #LetAfghanGirlsLearn

You are a super scientist and even a super amazing leader. Thank you @Victoryabro for travelling all the way to meet and for your commitment to uplift every girl through science and kindness. PS; now I also know how creative you are in choosing food for tired wanderers.

Day 1875: 🏫 Girls barred from secondary schools. Day 1415: 🎓 Women barred from universities. 🇦🇫 An empty classroom is not just a room without students. It is a hospital without a future doctor, a school without a future teacher, and a community without a future leader. #RecogniseGenderApartheid #ACrimeAgainstHumanity #LetAfghanGirlsLearn

Day 1874: 🏫 Girls barred from secondary schools. Day 1414: 🎓 Women barred from universities. 🇦🇫 When a girl is educated, her future children benefit too. When she is denied education, the consequences can echo across generations. The Taliban are stealing opportunities not only from today’s girls but from children yet to be born. #RecogniseGenderApartheid #ACrimeAgainstHumanity #LetAfghanGirlsLearn

تھر مٹی ماں ہے دھول نہیں Today, Ada @PartabShiwani shared this video, reviving memories of the first Tharr Science Festival nearly a decade ago. I sang Salman Haider’s beautiful poetry for Tharr and its children. Proud of Partab @TharEduAlliance and everyone devoted to Tharr’s education. Respect! ✊🏽❤️

Education opens doors, but partnerships like these open pathways to dreams, dignity and opportunity. Deeply grateful to @MalalaFundPK, #ICEPakistan, @BNUCommercial and @LRUK Network for investing in the potential of Pakistan’s young women. When we change the world for girls, girls will change the world for us.
Some partnerships are about more than just signing a paper, they are about opening doors and creating possibilities. Optimistic and motivated that @MalalaFundPK join hands with #ICEPakistan, @BNUCommercial University and @LRUK Network to launch the Malala Fund Scholarships for Girls. We are hoping that this partnership will create new opportunities for talented young women in #Pakistan to access quality, internationally recognised education and take their dreams further. I believe every girl deserves the chance to realise her potential. And sometimes, all it takes is someone opening that first door.

د خپل میاشتني معاش نه لږې روپۍ هره میاشت په دې بکس کې اچوم. نیت مې دا دی چې کومې خویندې چې درس وايي خو د کتاب، انټرنیټ او لګښت توان نه لري، ان شاءالله د همدې لارې ورسره لږ مرسته وکړم. قطره قطره دریا شي! #د_پوهې_ملاتړ #LetLearnAfghangirls #RecogniseGenderApartheid #ACrimeAgainstHumanity #LetAfghanGirlsLearn

From desert landscapes to a thriving hub of science and innovation, Thar’s transformation through girls’ education is truly inspiring. The girls of Thar are proving that talent and potential know no boundaries. Heartfelt appreciation to @PartabShiwani , Thar Education Alliance, HBL Foundation, the Government of Sindh and all partners for creating opportunities for girls to dream, discover, innovate and lead. #GirlsInSTEAM
Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai’s father, Co-Founder of Malala Fund, Ziauddin Yousafzai, has lauded the Thar Education Alliance (TEA), Habib Bank Foundation and the School Education and Literacy Department, Government of Sindh, for organising the first-ever Girls’ STEAM Festival in Nangarparkar. In his video message, he said, “People know me as the father of Malala Yousafzai. Last year, the festival in Thar was also hosted by Malala Fund. A few years ago, when I first heard about Thar, the image that came to my mind was that of a desert. But within just a few years, the contributions of the Thar Education Alliance have transformed the landscape through girls’ education, STEAM and other unique initiatives. Today, Thar has emerged as a hub of science festivals. You all deserve great appreciation. The partnerships built around this cause are priceless. Partab Shivani and his entire team deserve high praise. What they initiated in 2018 has now become a topic of conversation across Sindh, and the girls of Nangarparkar have every reason to feel proud.” His message recognises the journey of Thar's growing educational and scientific movement and the collective efforts to create opportunities for girls to learn, innovate and lead. @HBLPak #GirlsInSTEAM #HBL #HBLFoundation @Malala | @ZiauddinY

Day 1873: 🏫 Girls barred from secondary schools. Day 1413: 🎓 Women barred from universities. 🇦🇫 Afghanistan cannot rebuild its economy while excluding half its population from education. Every girl denied the opportunity to learn is a future entrepreneur, professional, innovator or leader the country may never have. #RecogniseGenderApartheid #ACrimeAgainstHumanity #LetAfghanGirlsLearn

Kawas has made history as the first hijab-wearing Palestinian American to serve in the New York State Legislature. Like it or not but this is the beauty of democracy in US and UK. Muslim minority can get votes from Christian majority. Can we practice the same kind of democracy in Pakistan and other Muslim countries? We elect non-Muslims on reserved seats.
We made history. 🇵🇸
