Balochistan Assembly finally passes a bill criminalising child marriage, a long-ignored issue often dismissed as a “Western agenda.” This is an important & overdue step for Balochistan. May our children’s futures be safe.

Young girls in Dasht, Turbat, play volleyball with joy and confidence for the first time. I join them. Sport is not only a source of happiness, but also a powerful boost for mental well-being and freedom. #DASHT #Balochistan #mentalhealthbalochistan

Great initiative. Journalists are among the most mentally drained due to traumatic events, difficult reporting conditions, ongoing violence, and threats. I spoke to a few who cover Balochistan, and I was shocked by their experiences.

Balochistan’s second-largest district, Kech, with a population of more than 1 million has only one Inclusive Special School. I came to see children. I found a locked gate due to lack of fund. We are paralysing a generation of special children by depriving them of education.
