  1. I just gone thru this website, what a heart-touching collections, one must go through and be a part of such progressive activities that women are no more humiliated. Furthermore, Christians are under tension in Pakistan, they have even lost hope. They kept their eyes on US or UK aids and got just an illusion trapes that somebody will help them on the faith-based platform. But all in vain and Christians in Pakistan being humilated.

  2. hi fozia , are you from sargodha

  3. Fauzia,

    I recently came across your blog and was moved by your words and your story. I am writing from World Pulse Magazine, a media organization dedicated to broadcasting global issues through the eyes of women.

    I would like to invite you to share your story on our social networking newswire, PulseWire, for possible syndication in our upcoming online and print editions. A newly created group on PulseWire called the “Pakistan Cafe” provides a platform for the unheard voices of women leaders and changemakers from Pakistan. This group offers a collaborative and safe discussion forum for you to share your thoughts, ideas, struggles, and emotions surrounding Pakistan. We invite you to speak about the issues and obstacles women are facing in your community, and to share the solutions that are already underway, or that we can develop together.

    Our next print magazine, to be published in June, will include a Country Focus piece on Pakistan. We are looking to offer perspectives on the country that go beyond the image portrayed by mainstream media. By joining the Pakistan Cafe on PulseWire and posting a blog entry, your story has the chance to be included in our upcoming print issue. We welcome you to utilize this space to share whatever you’d like—be it your own portrait of Pakistan, your stories of struggle and conflict or your hopes and visions for the future of your country and people — with a supportive community of other women from Pakistan and across the globe.

    I sincerely hope you will accept this invitation to join PulseWire and make a post in the Pakistan Cafe. We encourage you to post something new, or something you’ve written in the past. Poetry, stories, opinion pieces, or just a simple introduction are encouraged! The idea is to truly provide a space for women to join hands across borders, and all opinions and experiences are welcome.

    To join this group, please visit http://worldpulse.com/pulsewire/groups/5053 and click “Join this group.”

    You will need to register an account on PulseWire to be able to participate. If you need help doing this, please let me know!

    And of course, I also encourage you to pass this invitation on to other friends, family, or colleague to spread the dialogue!

    I am available to answer any questions you may have and to support you in any way possible.

    In partnership,

    Amelia Hays
    Editorial Outreach Intern
