World Sindhi Congress (WSC) mourns the untimely death of Adi Afsana Bhurghuri. Sindh and Sindhi people have lost one of their finest daughters. Adi was a passionate believer in the rights of Sindhi people, but more importantly in rights of Sindhi women, who remain grossly ignored, discriminated and marginalised in Sindhi society. She rightly believed that without the uplift of women, Sindhi society cannot progress. She tirelessly worked, and established organisation ‘Sartyoon’, for this cause by mobilising women in Sindh and overseas. Her efforts were bringing fruit and created a momentum, but unfortunately her sudden demise will be a great setback to the cause. Her death is even more momentous in time when Sindh and Sindhi people are facing multiple and critical challenges. In the circumstances, when there is a severe dearth of people who work with commitment and consistency on matters that are fundamental to societal progress, her loss will be irreparable for Sindh. She was a valued friend of WSC and helped and participated in its activities. On behalf of the entire membership of WSC, we offer our heartfelt condolences to her grieved family and friends. #sindh #sindhi #pakistan #rip #humanrights https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxz9rkBAgQa/?igshid=101z3nbbibe7a

https://www.thenews.com.pk/print/395023-poverty-and-sindh The report states that Sindh and Balochistan are poorer than Punjab and KP. “Since 1999, the per capita income of Sindh’s rural population has been decreasing to 0.5 annually”. Most of the 40 poorest districts of Pakistan belong to Balochistan and Sindh while none of 40 richest districts of Pakistan belong to Balochistan. The unavailability of water in many districts of the province to cultivate land is also a factor that affects this sector. In the coastal belt of the province, sea intrusion has been playing a lethal role in destroying the agricultural prospect of the region. Thatta, Sujawal and Badin has been prone to such sea intrusions for years. As a consequence, hundreds of acres of productive in these three districts have become totally infertile. 💠 #Sindh #sindhi #news #read #humanrights #resources https://www.instagram.com/p/BxYdCJ8gka3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1c7y2yu605sd0

Human Rights, Security, and Development in Sindh: Realities for Pakistan’s Southern Province. Registration is free and required. Please register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/dc-seminar-on-sindh-2019-registration-59639273673 Located in the Southeast of Pakistan, Sindh is home to more than 60 million people, a rich cultural heritage, and key natural resources. The province is also one of the poorest and has a contentious history with the government of Pakistan. With the growth of international terrorism, large-scale transnational development projects such as the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, and Pakistan’s problematic human rights record, Sindh sits at a nexus for some of today’s biggest international affairs issues particularly in the context of US-Pakistan relations. Goals and Learning Objectives: The goals for this seminars are to bring awareness and understanding to the ongoing issues affecting the province and its people. An examination of the interplay of human rights issues, water politics and transnational development projects, and security concerns will provide a basis for thorough discourse and understanding Sindh’s key geopolitical role. This discussion panel will bring together technical experts, academics, policy makers, and practitioners to further understand and advocate for meaningful examination and action in Sindh and Pakistan.
