    A woman living in the Khazana camp for Afghan refugees in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has complained that if she were not Afghan, she would have had all the rights that women in the rest of the world have. Sadaf, who lives in Khazana Camp, says that like women in the rest of the world, she also wants to complete her education and is also keen to see the outside world. There are more than 1.4 million registered Afghan refugees in Pakistan who have been forced to leave their homes due to the ongoing insurgency in Afghanistan. Most of them entered Pakistan almost 40 years ago after the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1979. The parents of Sadaf, a 25-year-old Afghan woman, also migrated to Pakistan and have been living in the camp ever since.

  • Why is suicide or attempted suicide increasing among women, especially married and Illitrate ones in Swat and Malakand?

Maryam is one of those women of Swat and Malakand division who not only tried to end her life first, but she is still alive only for her daughters.

    In Swat, women are increasingly resorting to suicide as a response to domestic conflicts, lack of education, the influence of the Taliban, and various other challenges. Salma, a pseudonym for one such woman, was a promising student whose parents married her off after she completed her matriculation. Despite her husband's care, Salma's life became a torment due to her domineering mother-in-law. With her husband frequently away on business trips for months at a time, Salma lived with her in-laws. Tragically, after a few years of marriage, Salma took her own life due to severe depression when she was seven months pregnant.
