At the launch of “Malkiamana” by Shakila Haider at @LifeAtLUMS, an art series highlighting the stories of Hazara women, their resilience, suffering, and struggles, was presented as part of a 16-country research project on women's movements and struggles across South Asia, led by @su_pwr and @IDS_UK. This is the first research project to include audiovisual representations of these struggles. The study, focusing on women's movements in Pakistan, features issues such as the @AuratMarch Home-Based Women Workers, Anti-Child Marriage campaigns, and the Hazara women's struggle.
The Hazara women's struggle began in Balochistan in 2001, where peaceful protests and sit-ins emerged as a response to violence. This movement can be considered the first significant women-led movement in Balochistan, driven by Hazara women demanding the right to life and protection. However, these protests did not exist in isolation, as they were set against the backdrop of patriarchy, tribalism, and a conservative society. The research paper examines the care, backlash, successes, and strategies within this movement, while the accompanying miniature illustrations capture the oral history in visual form.

Trust has to be brought back...but that will take time even when our direction is right. Whatever the level of trust, our processes have to be designed to facilitate and help citizens, not make their life difficult.
For the people?

Dr. Faisal Bari @BariFaisal highlighted the importance of clearly defining the skills students need to acquire by the end of their #undergraduate studies. Discussions on #skill development must be integrated into every course, ensuring both general and specific skills are addressed. This approach puts a significant responsibility on faculty to align the #curriculum across all four years of study.
