#Because I Breathe

 

#BECAUSE I BREATHE

Because I breathe, I am wronged

Because I breathe, I am treated as inferior

Because I breathe, I am deemed unworthy of respect and dignity

Because I breathe, my existence is marred by discrimination and persecution

Because I breathe, I am subjected to relentless prejudice and hatred

Because I breathe, I am denied basic human rights, as if the air I inhale is tainted with injustice

Because I breathe, my community suffers

Because I breathe, generations endure the weight of marginalisation and systemic oppression

Because I breathe, our history is marked by sorrow, displacement, and loss

Because I breathe, the world turns a blind eye to our struggles

Because I breathe, our voices are silenced, our stories untold

Because I breathe, the international community fails to recognise the magnitude of our plight

Because I breathe, I yearn for justice, for recognition of our inherent worth

Because I breathe, I dream of a world where our breaths are not stifled by discrimination

Because I breathe, I strive to shed light on the injustices we face

Because I breathe, I am determined to rise above the constraints placed upon us

Because I breathe

I resist

I protest

I will fight for a future where every breath is free from fear and oppression

Because I breathe, I implore the world to listen and stand in solidarity and acknowledge the suffering of the Hazara people

We are more than the breaths we take; we are resilient, vibrant, and deserving of equality and justice

# Hazara need you The Hazara people have a history of resilience, perseverance, and unwavering spirit in the face of enduring discrimination and persecution. Unfortunately, they have faced systemic marginalisation and violence throughout the centuries, despite no fault of their own. The roots of Hazara discrimination can be traced back to deep-seated ethnic and cultural prejudices that have plagued the region. Despite their diverse heritage, the Hazaras have often been labelled as outsiders or "other" due to their distinct physical features, cultural practices, and historical origins. Hazara discrimination has affected the community on multiple fronts, including economic, social, and political spheres. They have been subjected to systemic inequalities, and limited access to education, employment opportunities, and basic services. Their rights, aspirations, and voices have been suppressed and ignored. The Hazara people have endured tragic episodes of violence throughout ...

#In the shadows

  #In the shadows In Pakistan, the situation of acute food insecurity, as described, is undoubtedly a challenging one, and it can have far-reaching effects on various communities, including the Hazara population. It's important to note that the Hazara people, who primarily reside in certain regions of Pakistan, have historically faced multiple challenges and discrimination. In times of crisis, vulnerable populations like the Hazaras may be disproportionately affected due to existing socio-economic disparities and discrimination. They could face increased threats to their well-being, including limited access to food, livelihood opportunities, and safety. The intersection of these challenges can indeed put the Hazara community at greater risk. Humanitarian organisations, governments, and advocacy groups must be aware of these vulnerabilities and take targeted actions to ensure the protection and well-being of marginalised communities like the Hazaras during such crises.
