Poverty and hunger

Poverty in Pakistan has touched its highest level and people who were already compromising on their status have started losing their dignity now. Committing suicide of hunger has become a very ordinary incident that nobody bothers to think about the problems and circumstances these people go through. A person commits suicide when hopelessness overshadows his life and he finds no place, space or worth for him. People offering their children to Edhi houses is not anymore a shocking news for us. Do we think for a while of a mother who opts to depart her children just because she can not afford the expenses of their food. In a country where more than twenty six percent of people are living below the poverty line (more than a quarter), where women are disgraced in each and every part under the protection of law enforcing agencies, where women are killed for so called honor, where a woman is thrown in front of dogs, where women are exploited daily on roads by masses with their comments or remarks and where women are forced to enter into marriage with Quran, we kill and be killed on the name of religion. Isn't it the biggest crime to bring dishonor to religion by potraying it as if it is just for the male community which allows them to rule on earth with their all non sense. Islam is the religion that gives the due rights to women and which has given the dignity to women but what are we doing. should we hope and wait for someone to come and correct us.
