For over seven decades, the people of this region — loyal citizens who proudly fly the Pakistani flag even on the graves of their martyred sons who have died fighting for the country — have waited for their constitutional rights. Their patience is wearing thin, and the younger, educated generation is discontented with the status quo. The state must recognise the growing frustration and address their rightful demand for accession.
GB: undermined by ‘governance’

#WorldObesityDay March 4, 2025
We must work together to call for change to these systems, and people living with obesity must lead this call knowing that obesity is another side of malnutrition, and there are commercial determinants of obesity, too.
We must also recognise obesity as a complex, and chronic disease, and one that is also a driver of other diseases. Taking action on obesity is a critical step in reducing the global burden of other chronic diseases including diabetes, heart disease and cancer.
