Pakistani Cinema Pakistan is fortunate to have an active film industry with strong social and cultural references. While this is fantastic, since representation in film is so important. It is also about having appropriate and accurate characterizations of oneself. Films, to that extent, play a major role in how people see themselves, how they claim their cultural identity and voice, and how the world perceives them. Besides that, the film industry also makes great business sense. Film production is not just a narration on our socio-cultural mindset, it also fosters a creative economy and generates revenues by providing employment to those working in the field. But in order for a film industry, such as Pakistan’s, to fully capitalize, it must maintain its cultural integrity while marketing its productions to an international audience. To better understand how the film industry works and how it generates revenues, let us look at the film-making process, which is delineated into five

Women In Pakistan Thousands of women rallied across Pakistan on International Women’s Day this year and demanded an end to violence against women and gender minorities. In the days since, Pakistan’s Taliban movement has escalated the threats facing the women who marched. Opponents of women’s rights doctored a video of the rally to suggest that the women had committed blasphemy—an accusation that has been frequently weaponized against minorities in Pakistan and has resulted in vigilantes killing those who are targeted. To celebrate this year’s International Women’s Day, Pakistani women held what they call the Aurat (Women)’s March—an annual series of rallies that began in Karachi in 2018. This year’s Aurat March—held in at least seven cities nationwide—included demands for safety from endemic violence, accessible health care in a nation where nearly half of women are malnourished, and the basic economic justice of safe working environments and equal opportunities for women.

Current changes in Pakistan E ven by the standards of Pakistan’s perpetually unstable politics, the last ten weeks in the country have been exceptionally turbulent. Pakistan has a new government as of April 11 after Imran Khan was forced out via a vote of no confidence. The weeks leading up to the vote, from the filing of the motion on March 8 to the vote on April 10, were dramatic and full of intrigue. Now, the country is in economic and political crisis. Shahbaz Sharif’s new government has been in a state of decision paralysis and is struggling to find its footing, while the ousted prime minister is leading rallies across the country attacking the government’s legitimacy and calling for fresh elections. At the same time, Pakistan is also in the grip of an acute climate emergency. It’s not only political temperatures that are spiking: an unprecedented heat wave has enveloped Pakistan for weeks. THE FALL OF KHAN’S GOVERNMENT Crucial to the current crisis is understanding how Khan

Depression Depression (major depressive disorder) is a common and serious medical illness that negatively affects how you feel, the way you think and how you act. Fortunately, it is also treatable. Depression causes feelings of sadness and/or a loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed. It can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems and can decrease your ability to function at work and at home. The death of a loved one, loss of a job or the ending of a relationship are difficult experiences for a person to endure. It is normal for feelings of sadness or grief to develop in response to such situations. Those experiencing loss often might describe themselves as being “depressed.” We’ve all had moments in our lives when we feel sad. But if weeks go by and those feelings linger, it may be a sign of clinical depression. More than mere sadness, depression is a mood disorder that can suck the joy out of life and leave you feeling too overwhelmed to engage in normal daily

Aurat march On March 8, women around the world mark a day they call their own – International Women’s Day, highlighting achievements and dialoguing about issues still unresolved. The Women’s Day theme this year is #BreakTheBias, underscoring the idea that it is not enough to acknowledge the existence of bias. Action is necessary to achieve equality. While the rest of the world is devising strategies to improve conditions for women, Pakistani women face the challenge of whether or not they will even be allowed to share their issues on a public forum on this day. Since 2018, Pakistani feminists have been organizing large public demonstrations for Women’s Day called Aurat — the Urdu word for women — March. Opposition to Aurat March has grown in proportion to its popularity and impact. I tried to attended the march of 8 march 2022 Karachi , which was held in Jinnah park, but their security didn’t allowed us to join them later I discovered that at that time two marches were in progress in
