UN condemns forced marriages and religious conversions of minorities in Pakistan
UN experts: “Christian and Hindu girls remain particularly vulnerable to forced religious conversion, abduction, trafficking, child, early and forced marriage, domestic servitude and sexual violence, The exposure of young women and girls belonging to religious minority communities to such heinous human rights violations and the impunity of such crimes can no longer be tolerated or justified.”
While the confirmation of this atrocities is a good start, the article stops short asking for sanctions and other actions.
Since the inception of INSIGHT UK, we have raised our voice for the hardships faced by minorities in Pakistan. In recognition of the urgency and importance of the issue INSIGHT UK has designated the month of October as Hindu Persecution Awareness Month. Throughout the month we dedicate our efforts to raise awareness, advocate for change and stand in solidarity with the minority Hindu community facing persecution in Pakistan.
Please join INSIGHT UK in spreading awareness about the plight of the Hindus in Pakistan.

CAA is a limited and narrowly tailored legislation, which is a manifestation of the executive/legislative policy of the Govt as it reaffirms India’s faith and commitment to secularism by protecting the minorities in non-secular countries within the neighborhood. #CAAexplained
CAA does not impinge upon any existing right that may have existed prior to the enactment of the amendment and further, in no manner whatsoever, seeks to affect the legal, democratic or secular rights of any of the Indian citizens. #CAAexplained
It's crucial to dispel the misconceived notion that the CAA is fundamentally anti-Muslim. This legislation is specifically tailored to provide sanctuary to religious minorities who face severe persecution in their home countries. #CAAexplained

With this inclusive and comprehensive approach, India may potentially guide international standards on dealing with complex issues related to migration and citizenship. #CAAexplained
