SAVE LIVES; CARE FOR OTHERS

Hello Folks!

Today, I aim to talk about something very important that can save many lives. I aim to give you an insight into AIDS/HIV and how it can be prevented. So let’s start.

We should know what is AIDS. It stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.AIDS/HIV is a virus that attacks a person’s immune system destroying one’s ability to fight off other diseases.

The first prevention against AIDS/HIV is the practice of safe sex. It is transmitted primarily through sexual contact both homosexual and heterosexual whoever the carrier may be. So the use of condoms is a must during the start and finish of every act of sexual intercourse.

The second prevention is not to trust the word of mouth when going for such an activity. Always ask for a certificate from a sexual partner. Many lives have been destroyed by just trusting the word of mouth.

The third prevention is never to trust the dating services. People have made businesses and most service providing institutions will never reveal the truth. So, prevention is better than infection for life.

The fourth prevention is the use of a clean injection for a drug. Anyone who injects a drug should always use a clean, unused needle.

The fifth prevention against AIDS/HIV is not to donate blood or even take it without being sure of the safety. Blood donation is mostly screened and those high risked groups; blood for transfusion is not accepted in the first place.

Lastly, women, mothers who are pregnant and have HIV can prevent it from transmitting to the babies by using by taking HIV medicine (called antiretroviral therapy or ART).

In the end. I would like to say that till present there is no cure for this. There is no way to cure HIV infection or remove the virus from the body. Drug therapy can only slow down the virus and the damage that it does to the immune system.

However, people with HIV can live long and healthy lives and prevent transmitting HIV to their sexual partners.

Other drugs are available to prevent or treat infections that can be life-threatening to the person with HIV infection. So folks, if you know something can be of so grave nature, why go for it in the first place. Life is very precious. Own it as an asset and take care of it as a trust.

Think about it. Until next time stay safe and healthy.

WHY DO I WRITE?

WHY DO I WRITE?

Hello Folks!

I often wonder why people do what they do? The profession or hobbies that they pursue etc., So today, I aim to delve deep into Why do I write? So let’s start.

Firstly, writing helps me in connecting with my audience irrespective of their age, color, creed, etc. It helps me in communicating with them as a whole without pinpointing any single person.

Secondly, for me, writing is not merely for writing purposes. There is so much that is going on in my head at the time of writing. So many ideas, stories of real people waiting to be written and let known to the world.

Each story and idea has its own uniqueness to be shared with the audience out there. And that triggers me to write.

Thirdly, I write as it is my way of interpreting the world, society, people, environment, and questions surrounding me. I look, observe, talk, and try to drive conclusions to the questions engulfing my mind.

Sometimes. I am successful in finding answers to all my queries and sometimes my queries leave an open-ended answer for the audience to ponder upon.

Fourthly, I write because my writing depicts who I am and what I am capable of. It does not need acceptability from people who don’t understand what my aim is.

It is for sensitive, yet mature people who are facing one sort or the other sort of problems in their day to day life and looking for a solution or just to have a view at someones else view about life.

Fifthly, I write as it is my way of catharsis regarding coping up with life, its follies, intricate relationships, etc, and looking for ways to ease the pain.

And perhaps, this makes me, very sensitive to the pains of others around me. That’s why, I give an open invitation to people to come forward and share their stories if they want.

Sixth, I write as I have a mind of my own where feelings and emotions are more important to me rather than filter thoughts. I say what is at the top of my mind and so do I practice the same.

My mind and tongue are aligned along with the words that I put on a piece of paper. So it is often hard to digest.

Seventh, I write, because I am my own boss and I do not take orders from anyone. I do improve by the sincere efforts of my audience but do not infiltrate my work with bogus stats or stuff that is useless.

And Lastly, I write because I feel no one deserves to be lonely. If my work in any way can give them moments of joy, it is worth the effort, I put in every piece.

In the end, I would like to say that all professions are noble.No matter what you pursue, do it with full commitment and passion. Bring out the best in you and along the way, do not forget those who are the reason for your success.

Enjoy each day, every second of the day with the gratitude you have another day to live among those who understand you and own you, Think about it.

Until next time, stay safe and healthy.

Happy Reading!

CRIMES IN THE NAME OF CUSTOMS

Read Time:4 Minute, 35 Second

CRIMES IN THE NAME OF CUSTOMS

Hello Folks!

Most of you may be familiar with the Crimes practiced in Pakistan, in the name of Customs. Today, I aim to provide you with an insight into these Crimes. So let’s start.

Women in Pakistan live in a world structured around strict religious, family, and tribal customs that essentially force them to live in “Char Diwari” ( four walls), submission, and overall fear.

They are subjected to discrimination and violence daily due to cultural and religious norms. Pakistani Islamic Law too dictates traditional family values and is enmeshed in the legal system.

This places men as decision-makers regarding marriage and divorce matters. Pakistan’s law, government, and society discriminate against women and condone gender-based violence.

The first crime practiced in the name of custom is Honor Killing. Honor crimes are an act of violence usually murder committed by male family members against female family members who are perceived to have brought dishonor upon the family.

A woman can be targeted by the family for several reasons such as refusal to enter into an arranged marriage or being a victim to the sexual assault or even seeking a divorce from an abusive husband or committing adultery.

Simply, the mere perception of the family that how a woman has acted has brought dishonor to the family is sufficient to trigger an attack.

Honor Killings are common in the interior of all provinces of Pakistan which results in the massacre of Honor Killings to satisfy one’s perception of what is and what isn’t.

The second crime practiced in the name of custom is Karo Kari. Karo means black males and Kari means black females.

It is another custom where a man can kill a woman, claiming that she has brought dishonor to the family and yet expect to be pardoned by her relatives.

In Sind and Baluchistan provinces, the term Karo Kari has been officially employed as a label for the crime of double homicide. A man or a boy and a girl or a woman are both killed usually by the husband, father, or brother in what is characterized as a fit of rage.

Here the killer sees or in many cases hears or blames the victims actively engaged in sexual activity. Traditionally wherever practiced, Karo Kari is perhaps the only form of Honor Killing.

Another crime practiced in the name of custom is Violence. Be it verbal or physical or any other form, it is violence. In Pakistan, the rate of violence is comparatively much higher compared to other crimes.

Violence on women includes physical, psychological, and social oppression. It includes abuse, rape, acid attack, burning, killing, etc.

It is a violation of the right to physical integrity, to liberty, and to her right to life itself.

Another crime practiced in the name of custom is Forced Marriage. In the interiors of the Sind and Baluchistan provinces, marriages are forced and women are bound to bow before the wishes of the family.

Marriage of convenience is another custom where people consciously exploit the institution of marriage to obtain wrongfully certain advantages.

In Pakistan, however, women’s marriage with the Quran is common amongst feudal families or were inherited property matters.

Child marriages are found in the majority of the Tehsils. Such as Rojahan, Kot Addu, Taunsa, Tribal Area, Jatoi, Jalalpur, Pirwala, and Muzaffar Garh. In many Tehsils, early age engagement and Nikkah is also in practice.

Another crime practiced in the name of custom is the sale and purchase of women for marriage and lust purposes.

The sale and purchase of women is a practice and is more common in tehsil’s of Rajan Pur, Tribal Areas, Jampur, D.G Khan, Kot Addu, AliPur and Jatoi.

Vani or Swara refers to a customary practice that is widespread across Pakistan and is used as a method for resolving disputes and settling debts between families and tribes.

According to this custom, females members from the offending male family are married or given to the victim’s family as reparation or penance.

These decisions are often made by the jirga or panchayat which is a council consisting of the elder members of the community and convene an informal court to decide methods for resolving disputes.

This custom is practiced mostly in Kot Addu, Tribal Area, Multan, Shujjabad, Rojhan, Jampur, D.G khan, Taunsa, Jalalpur, Pirwala, and Muzaffar Garh.

Aaf and Aas is yet another custom practiced in the tehsil of Rajan Pur and Jampur.In this custom, the offender/accuses have to prove himself/herself innocent by crossing the burning fire.

Another crime practiced in the name of the custom is Numrad. It is a custom practiced in Southern Punjab in which after the marriage of the woman; the daughter or girls of the husband’s brother is given to the woman’s family ( father or brother) in exchange.

They can marry that girl to whomever and where ever they want to.

In the end, I would like to reiterate that such and other aforementioned Crimes practiced in the name of Customs need to be abolished forthwith.

Whether women belong to NWFP or Punjab, many do not get justice for these crimes practiced in the name of customs and there are lists and lists of women who have been affected and suffering.

These women demand such practices be declared null and void with immediate effect. It’s time to take action. Think about it. Until next time, stay safe and healthy.

Happy Reading!
