The age we live in is that of exceptional denial. The Pakistani populace has ignored the adverse effects of climate change on the country. Climate Impact PK set out on a journey, one that would address all facets of climate change in Pakistan in an effort to slow its consequences. The mission is to advocate for climate change through a two-pronged approach. The first prong is prioritizing increased awareness of overlooked environmental problems through a wide range of forums. The second prong is putting forth innovative, action-based solutions to attend to Pakistan’s environmental crises.

 

Climate Impact PK began with the two co-founders Rania Jawad Khan and Jeuni Amir Khan, who firmly believed in a new approach to youth environmental activism: actions speaking louder than words. Rania acts as chairperson with her undying passion whereas Jeuni takes the role of president with her enthralling ideas. The rest of the core team consists of Sameer Nasir, the no-nonsense vice president and head of operations, Momena Rana, the spirited Projects Director, Mehma Rashid, the exceptionally creative Media & Communications Director, and Jasim Butt, the analytical Director of Finance. This motivated team, consisting of varying expertise and personalities, serves to provide a fresh perspective on climate change in Pakistan.

 

The main objective of CIPK’s first assignment, Project Zero Waste, was to combat the excess plastic waste problem through recycling to minimize its detrimental effects. More specifically, to utilize a sustainable process that converts PET bottles into blankets. The blankets are then to be donated to an orphanage called the Bali Memorial Fund, in an effort to make eco-friendly products accessible to the underprivileged.

 

The first step of the project was the collection of PET bottles from across Lahore. With the help of KFC Pakistan, which is known to be the world’s second-largest restaurant chain, the team was able to gather a total of five hundred bottles that would have otherwise been thrown away or incinerated. Next, with the help of Wastebusters, a progressive waste management, and recycling company, Climate Impact PK was able to carry out the main process, where the bottles were taken to the Wastebusters factory to be recycled into the final product: rPET blankets. The process starts with a collection of bottles, after which the bottles are thoroughly cleaned and shredded into pallets at the waste busters facility. Next, the plastic pallets are liquified and turned into recycled polyester fiber and yarn, with which we are able to create almost anything. However, the product we chose was rPET blankets. Recycled polyester is a material that requires 59% less energy and resources in contrast to virgin polyester. In addition to that, the production of rPET polyester is known to release 32% less CO2 emissions in comparison. This is crucial because if you are not talking carbon emissions, you are not talking climate change.

 

The CIPK team is passionate about mitigating the environmental consequences of plastic waste, while simultaneously providing for those in need. The distribution of the final product targeted areas where the blankets and awareness about the harm surrounding plastic waste are needed the most. The team chose the Bali Memorial Fund to be the place where the blankets were distributed, thus concluding Project Zero Waste. The core team of CIPK personally visited the orphanage and spent quality time with the girls, educating them about the environment. Above all, the end products serve to be eco-friendly solutions to the vulnerable parts of the society, along with a new perspective for the children.

 

The social media campaign has continued to provide transparency alongside Project Zero Waste. In pursuit of having more awareness, an awareness campaign on the Climate Impact Instagram page has been launched to apprise anyone and everyone about the detrimental effects of plastic waste and major environmental news (i.e the Paris Climate Agreement Anniversary). The organization, as a whole, has always believed that awareness is imperative to make an impact or a change in the climate situation of Pakistan. The Green is the New Black blog is yet another way CIPK is raising awareness of major climate issues, most notably how urbanization and COVID-19 lockdown has affected climate change in Pakistan. It is to say that awareness along with implementation form the backbone of the organization

 

Over the course of the last 8 months, the project has received recognition from many large firms and has been a social media sensation. CIPK has been involved in contacting those who are most passionate and knowledgeable on plastic pollution, such as Rafay Alam, a renowned environmental lawyer, the sustainability department at Pepsico, the CEO of Wastebusters and countless others. We thank them for their guidance, insight and time. Climate Impact PK owes the success of Project Zero Waste to these figures as well as its social media community.

 

            Seeing as the climate issue of Pakistan is central to our development as a nation, Climate Impact PK does feel that it has achieved part of its purpose –slowing the consequences of climate change through local, innovative projects while also spreading awareness– and will strive more towards its purpose over the coming years. Project Zero Waste, being the debut project of CIPK, is a project that it is incredibly proud of as it has positively impacted the plastic waste issue. The advances made towards a green Pakistan have been rendered remarkable by various environmental personalities. The organization hopes to make a larger, and more meaningful “climate” impact in everything that it takes on. The core team has continued to bring an innovative perspective in an effort to break away from the stereotypes of what it truly means to be environmentalists in a new age.

 Malaysia: A Malaysian court ruled Wednesday that non-Muslims can use the word “Allah” to refer to God, in a major decision in a divisive issue for religious freedom in the country.

The High Court decision squashed a 35-year-old government ban on the usage of Allah and three other Arabic words by Christian publications, deeming the ban unconstitutional, said the plaintiff’s lawyer, Annou Xavier.

The government has previously said Allah should be reserved exclusively for Muslims to avoid confusion that could lead them to convert to other religions, a stance that is unique to Malaysia and hasn’t been an issue in other Muslim-majority nations with Christian minorities.

Christian leaders in Malaysia say the ban is unreasonable because Christians who speak the Malay language have long used Allah, a Malay word derived from Arabic, in their Bibles, prayers and songs.

The high court ruling appeared to contradict an earlier decision by the country’s Federal Court in 2014 that upheld the government ban following a legal challenge by the Roman Catholic Church, which had used the word Allah in its Malay-language newsletter.

In historical perspective, the entire Punjab of subcontinent was rules by sovereign powers in the form of Royal family Rajas, Kings, Sultans and Nawabs having power slot and controlling authority in Delhi (now in India).

After Mughals’ decline and weakened pivotal power, the peasant of Punjab whose economic condition was pathetic at that time, started rebellion against scattered principalities of subcontinent by joining Sikh Missls/Jathas (groups) to make the both ends meet. For alleviation of poverty the Punjab peasant resorted to looting and bounced back with full forces and revengeful acts after a long period of deprivation. Despite centuries-old land labour, the Punjab peasant could not get its proper share to rid of poverty.

After Mughals decline and start of ‘Sikha Shahi’ period (the time when Punjab remained under the iron hands of three Sikhs which is considered the darkest period having mismanagement, unrest and panic.

However, the Punjab peasant kept on fighting. If we explore the history we find many heroes and regional movements in Punjab, from Mughal to British Empire, for freedom to cultivate the mother land freely with peace and meet with poverty. Worth-mentioning are:

Dullah Bhatti

Born in Pindi Bhattian in 1547 in Sandal Bar area during Mughal Empire of Akbar the Great and buried at Miani Sahab graveyard in Lahore in 1599. Actually his name was Abdullah Bhatti but in Punjab old songs he is famous with the name Dullah Bhatti, the ‘Son of Punjab Soil’. His ancestors were Zamindars. He led a revolt against Mughal Empire in late 16^th century. His efforts proved fruitful and he succeeded in exempting the area of Bari Doab from unjust demands and levy of taxes on local land owners.

‘Pagri Sambal Jatta’

This movement was launched in Punjab during British Raj by renowned hero Baghat Singh’s uncle Sardar Ajit Singh Sanhu in 1907 against so-called Green Revolution which curtailed Punjab farmers agrarian freedom. In fact the Green Revolution reforms were introduced by British Empire to boost its industrial sector in the context of Industrial Revolution and expand its authority on Salt Rang of Punjab. In 1879, the British Government built up “Upper Bari Doab Canal’ to draw water from the Chenab to draw water from Chenab to Lyallpur (Faisalabad) to set up settlements in an unpopulated area and promised the allotment of land to peasants. The peasants moved in new land but later, with enactment of new laws, the British Government captured the new lands and denied ownership rights of the peasants.

The Pagri Sambal Jatta was started with an aim to revive the Subcontinent revolution of 1857 on its 50^th anniversary in 1907. At that time Pagri (Turban) was a symbol honour and dignity of a common man. The slogan’s aim was just a call ‘not let the Pagri fall’. Lala Lajpat Rai was also among the pioneer members of this movement. This movement flared unrest in Punjab (combined at that time).

Pagri Sambal Jatta founder Sardar Ajit Singh along with his right hand Sufi Amba escaped to Iran as the British Government had targeted him being a revolutionary, and lived in exile for 38 years. In March 1947, he returned to India and breathed his last on 15^th August 1947, the day when colonial rule had ended.

Despite efforts on the part of above heroes, the Pagri of the Indian Punjab peasant is still shaking and unsteady while every law, rule and regulation is being be enacted to let down the dignity of Pagri and those who wear it.

Igniting #SHEPOWER in a fast-growing tech space

Research shows that diverse teams perform better and are more innovative, often suggesting promising results for business.Despite so, the lingering issue of gender disparity between male and female representation in the technology industry continues to be a hot topic for many activists, government authorities, and public-alike.

In line with this year’s International Women’s Day 2021 (IWD 2021) theme #ChooseToChallenge, four superwoman from the fast-growing smartphone brand Infinix looks to share their personal story in challenging biases and misconceptions within the tech space through a #SHEPOWER video released by the company. The video can be found at (https://youtu.be/3gRg8Ox7LZY).

The #SHEPOWER in Infinix

Founded in 2013, Infinix is a frontrunner in combining stylish design and cutting-edge smartphone technology in their products. As a brand who aims to connect with the youths via their product innovation, the brand is also not one to shy away from burning social challenges – in this case, empowering women to take a stance in some of the most challenging environment. This time it is encouraging some of those women to share their stories.  The #SHEPOWER means lot of more meaningful to Infinix than many other brands as the company seeks not only to foster the technological and innovative development of some of the less-privileged regions, it seeks to advocate social changes by promoting gender equality, as much as we don’t want to admit, some parts of the worlds aren’t very friendly to women who wants to develop a career of her own.

Fully aligning with the global goal, the company keeps growing its investment to contribute to turn Pakistan into a regional tech hub, and it just got one step further towards its mission and local commitment to put Pakistan on road to progress and prosperity. Infinix is contributing to Pakistan’s economy, while at the same time empowering labor, especially women, in the country. In the manufacturing facility at Pakistan, 60% of the workforce is comprised of women.

Talking of the women empowerment in Pakistan that how it has drastically increased over the past years, it would be great to mention Zuofyshan Ahmer, the community manager at Infinix Pakistan.

Owing to her profuse talent in singing, she had a global chance to portray her euphonious vocals and participate in the Guinness World Record for the most people in an online rap play.

“Being the only female layman candidate amongst the 5 other professional males with exceptional singing skills was not an easy thing to deal with. However, I had to be the strongest of them all as I was leading them as well through the platform of Infinix while representing my country, Pakistan”, said Zuofyshan while expressing her victory with glee.

Meet Shams Talaat, a 23-year-old marketer in Infinix, Iraq. Despite being in a place that has the lowest female employment rates in the world, Shams has always been a fighter when it comes to gender equality. Last year, she marched hand in hand with male and female protestors down the streets of central Baghdad as one of the organisers of the gender equality rally which made international headlines.

“We want to feel heard, equal – and be free to represent our own voices,” said the young girl who have just graduated from Nahrain University, one of the top universities in Iraq. “It’s uncommon for women to work in technology company here. Being part of this industry, in Infinix, in particular, means a lot to me because I am part of a vision that aims to provide great technology at an unbeatable price for my country. At the moment, I’m the only female member in my office – but I believe that things will change as we continue to promote a safe and inclusive working environment for aspiring women who wants to take a stab at the tech industry in Infinix,” continued Shams.

Another employee which shared her story comes from a transcontinental country where it spans the northeast corner of Africa and southwest corner of Asia – the Arab Republic of Egypt, a place which ranked 136 out of 145 countries worldwide in gender equality. Amani, the Head of Human Resources Department at Infinix, Egypt, has over 10 years of working experience under her belt. During her time with Infinix, Amani has been invited to attend the biggest HR conference in the middle east HRSE 2019 HR Summit and Expo.

“In Egypt, women are under tremendous societal pressure to get married and raise a child. Traditional Arabic culture sees us as weak and one that needs protection – even getting out of the house alone is a trouble for us. That’s why I take great pride in my work and what I’ve achieved so far,” shared Amani when asked about her views on common difficulties faced by female employees in their country. Despite the scrutiny, she was able to excel in her performance: “It was very challenging in the beginning because the brand was growing so fast that I needed to establish a team and expand it by three times of its original size in such a short period.  Regardless, we did it in the end. Not only so, I also managed to finish my post graduate studies in Human Resource and Law while working. It’s truly a blessing.”

The last sharer comes from a place which represents a promising future for a highly progressive nation that has committed to itself to promoting greater gender equality in its once male-centric workforce – the People’s Republic of China. Jessica a 25-year-old mobile structure design engineer at Infinix Shanghai is turning heads with her talent in what seemed to be “a man’s job”.

With a childhood dream to be a fashion designer, Jessica finds joy in putting her creativity and passion into every aspect of Infinix mobile design: “ It’s a dream come true in an unexpected way. I’m really glad that fashion plays a critical role in Infinix’s product creation – it gives me an opportunity to see my ideas come to life in an everyday product like smartphones.” One of her greatest achievement includes a crossover project with popular mobile game PUBG where her designs were featured heavily on many prime advertisement spots.

Today, there are greater acceptance for women in the workforce globally. Infinix has never stopped to take challenges on, with a workforce of 42% women, it will continue to drive gender equality and diversity. It is not the ratio that counts but the culture of fostering diversity. In fact, the COVID-19 pandemic has also sped up the marathon for women’s rights in multiple aspects. That being said, companies – in this case, those in technology sector – will still need to relook and improvise some of their efforts in promoting gender equality in the workspace to ensure a sustainable change.

 

Success story of Anum Arooj

For Anum Arooj, who lost her father when she was just 12 years old, the real-life impact of her role as an environment, health and safety (EHS) specialist could not be clearer.

“I’m working for families in the community, ensuring we are providing a safe environment, one where employees can finish their day at the plant and return home to hug their children.”

Anum, who leads EHS for a power plant in Pakistan that is operated and maintained by GE Gas Power, explains, “This is what gives me so much job satisfaction and why, although I’ve been of-fered positions with other functions, I’ve not taken them.”

In her current role, Anum is responsible for ensuring that the plant meets various EHS require-ments, including EHS trainings for staff. “We take EHS very seriously at GE and I’m proud to lead the team at our site on this front,” she says.

18-hour days Anum, who has two older sisters and a younger brother, says, “We are a family of environmental-ists!” She came to the field after earning Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in environmental sci-ences from the University of the Punjab, where her two older sisters also studied environmental sciences. One of her sisters is married to an environmental engineer as well.

As the youngest daughter, Anum says she felt the loss of her father particularly strongly, driving her to do what she could to augment the pension her mother received. So, at a young age, she began tutoring her fellow students and their siblings. “This wasn’t something I had to do; my mother did not ask me to, but I wanted to do something to help my family.”

“Those were hard times,” she recalls. “We had lost the head of our family and had to survive on our own. But our mother was determined to give us an education, even though some well-meaning relatives suggested she should just get her daughters married instead. She refused to listen and ensured we got university degrees.”

After starting university, Anum continued tutoring, and later, she began teaching at a local acade-my.

Mature beyond her years, Anum was ahead of her age in school as well as she was promoted early through a couple of grades in primary school. Consequently, she was more than two years younger than her peers when she entered university.

Nevertheless, she still scored high grades and earned several scholarships, with an 18-hour-a-day schedule that included teaching in the morning, going to classes in the afternoon, and studying in the evening. “I learned that there is no limit to success if you are willing to put in the work to tackle challenges.”

Rising to the challenge
Soon after earning her Master’s degree, Anum spotted a job posting for an EHS trainee with an organization that was contracted by GE Gas Power to assist with certain services at a power plant in the Punjab Province.

She applied, was offered the position and became one of only two women to work at the plant. “I was blessed to have interactions with EHS experts at GE who taught me a lot about the field, since at university, we only had one or two semesters on the subject.”

After nine months, she was chosen to lead the EHS function at the plant. That was a huge accom-plishment as the EHS leaders at other GE-operated plants in the country had five to eight years of experience.

Over the next few years, Anum took on progressively senior roles, eventually becoming an EHS team leader at GE.

Dozens of awards
Today, Anum continues to challenge herself and continues to win recognition. While working full time, she is pursuing a PhD in environmental sciences, with a specialization in safety. Nevertheless, over the past several years, she has received more than a dozen awards, and another 10 EHS recognitions for the plants where she has worked.

Thinking about the different types of jobs she has held, Anum says it’s important not to judge any work opportunity as being too ‘lowly’.

“I earned money by teaching fellow students. I didn’t feel it was demeaning to do this. We should value all the jobs we do.” After all, that early work led her to more tutoring and teaching opportu-nities.

What’s particularly moving to her is that former students continue to call her for career advice. She’s also proud to know that among the students she taught, one is a doctor, another is an ac-countant, and a third is an engineer.

‘Don’t limit yourself’
It’s no surprise that she also thinks that labeling jobs as ‘male’ and ‘female’ is wrong. “I tell young people that we should not think that a particular career is just for men or for women. We should open ourselves to consider any type of job. Don’t limit yourself.”

To young women in particular, who she mentors and speaks with when visiting university classes, her advice is, “Stay focused and don’t be afraid of failure. Step forward, take risks, and always vol-unteer to take on the harder and more challenging jobs.”

I have been a cigarette smoker for over 10 years. When I picked up my first cigarette, I was surrounded by people who smoked – making it a cool thing to do that I could sustain even on a shoe-string budget. Flash forward, I inadvertently picked up a habit that I would, since, struggle to leave.

And clearly, I am not the only one, there are over 1 billion smokers in this world (ref: WHO Study – 2018). Being one, I can say with some certainty that most of us want to drop this habit from our lives. But this is easier said than done. While some rock stars manage to go cold-turkey and never touch a cigarette again in their lives, the majority like myself need a transition path out of it. A slow sustainable taper-off, rather than the much more difficult sudden up-and-leave approach. Or at the very least, switch to a less-harmful alternative.

In my quest to find my way out of the cigarette world, here are the alternatives I have tracked and tried, and my experience of them:

1- Nicotine gum/spray/inhaler/pouches: this is an option I use in tandem with regular smoking, particularly in places where I cannot light up a cigarette. Airlines, meetings, malls – these alternatives tide me over to the time when I can step outside, but only just. With the weird after-taste and headache to boot, I, personally, do not find this a sustainable alternative to full-time smoking, but rather a fallback option in dire circumstances.

2- Vape/E-Cigarettes: I am no expert of this option, as some other people around me are, but I have experimented with my fair share of this technology. This was an option that worked really well in short bursts for me, particularly when I was travelling or living abroad – as this was much cheaper than going out and buying a pack of cigarettes a day. On the flip side, I always find the variation of technology here too complicated for me to understand at times. There is a fair bit of learning and experimentation required and does not appear to be a plug and play situation. The ban on in-flight usage since 2016 has also taken away my motivation to invest more effort into this approach.

3- Heated tobacco products: this is a technology I am intrigued by and I am looking to make this the next stop in my quitting journey. The basics remain the same as a stick of tobacco which is heated, instead of burnt, to reduce the release of harmful chemicals from the equation. It appears to be the closest thing to regular smoking at the moment, while appearing to be significantly less-harmful than cigarettes. While this option is sparsely available in Pakistan already via grey channels, I do hope these become more readily available at more competitive rates for people like me to give it a shot and move onwards in their process.

That said, I do wish this journey was surrounded by more accessible conversations. It is easy to say smokers should quit smoking but step one is understanding that this is easier said than done. There is a need for new conversations – based on science and facts – about the alternatives, and exploring the paths that lie ahead for people to choose from, which I feel, would be a more sustainable way for smokers to be able to reduce this habit.

March 8th marks 110 years since the annual International Women’s Day (IWD) was first commemorated in 1911. In 1921, the IWD was designated to seek attention from all quarters for giving equal rights and promote women’s right to vote in developed countries’ political setup. This day highlights the achievements of women with a national holiday in numerous countries as decided by the United Nations in 1975.

In its campaign for female enfranchisement, the Socialist Party of America in 1909 held the first National Woman’s Day, which was highlighted by mass meetings across the United States; the day was observed until 1913.

This year’s celebrations will start with the objective “Be Bold and Accept Challenge”. There are a lot of voices of women around the world on the challenges they face and the hopes they have. Today, it is an important occasion for promoting women’s issues and rights, especially in developing countries.

The above reforms established women empowerment in all fields of life. Now the women are shoulder to shoulder with men in all walks of life, whatever it is, from Space Station to Railway Station responsibilities and Commerce to Computer Science services.

The occasion will be celebrated by love messages from moms, aunts, sisters, daughters, teachers, female fellows, girlfriends and wives worldwide. Men should make them (females) feel honoured on this day, and we should hope that everybody will say ‘Happy Women’s Day’ to their love ones.

Human rights did not exist in the past. People of the ancient times lived like animals. They did not have any concept, of human rights. ‘’Might is right’’ was the law of the world. The strong ruled the weak. The weak was destined to lead a life of misery. His sense of respect and dignity was destroyed by the strong and the rich. As human society developed, the concept of human rights also developed. The first code of human rights was created by the king of Ur in 2005 B.C. King Asoka in 265 B.C issued a document which contained certain human rights. It was with the spread of education that the concept of human rights matured.

        It was our religion which highlighted the importance of human rights for every one.

1. It gave equal rights of human dignity and respect to all people irrespective of their color, caste and creed. Islam bestows equal rights in the field of politics, culture, religion and economic to the master and the slave.
2. It preached non violence and peace.It gave the right of the security of life to everyone.
3. It conferred right of protection of honour and dignity to everyone.
4. It gave right of political and economic freedom to everyone. It gave freedom of expression to every individual of the state.
5. It guaranteed social justice and equal opportunity of growth and development to every individual.
6. Islam gave equal rights to women along with men in every field of life.

     There are only a few countries which follow and practice human rights. Take the example of big democratic countries. America, Britain and India are said to be the greatest democratic countries. But unfortunately they violate human rights grossly. America, the big super power has always resorted to the use of force on weak and poor countries. Afghanistan is populated by poor people. America has bombed it mercilessly and killed millions of innocent men, women and children. It has caused massive disaster in Iraq. It kidnaps and imprisons the innocent Muslim men and women without any of their fault. In this way, it violates the right of human freedom and human dignity.

                         Israel with its heavy collection of sophisticated weapons attacks and assaults the Muslims of Palestine after every week. India too does not lag behind. It has committed untold atrocities on the Kashmiries. The world though educated and enlightened still follows the law of jungle. ‘Might is right’ is still loved and worshipped.

                 In Pakistan the condition of following human rights is not satisfactory. People belonging to opposite political opinions are arrested, kidnapped and escorted to persons.

                     The courts are weak to guarantee human and political freedom to people. The strong and the rich usurp the property of the weak and lead a life of luxury. The four provinces of Pakistan always cry for just and fair distribution of water and energy sources. The people of Pakistan are discriminated on the grounds of caste, creed and religious kinship. They do not enjoy the right of equal and just opportunity of getting  jobs.

                        However, there are certain fields where Pakistan has no doubt conferred equal rights to individuals. The minorities are equal citizens and enjoy all basic rights. They have the right to live according to their religion. They can maintain and manage their religious institutions. They have equal opportunities for job and getting education.

                            The practice and following of human rights is must in every civilized society. Man is born free. No one has the right to deprive him of the basic necessities of life. No government can be given the right to injure self respect and dignity of man. In democracy, human rights are the assets of every individual. Unfortunately, the law of jungle is still practised by all the countries of the world, whether there exists democracy or dictatorship in them.
