Being a Pakistani girl and being a Christian Pakistani girl is not an easy deal – trust me!
Why is there such a price to pay, simply for a choice of belief? I find it derisory that a state counts the protection of humanity for little or nothing, a state which is so frightened by Christians – a tiny minority who may seem odd, but who never pose any threat or give any genuine offence to anyone.
University student
My excitement at enrolling as a university student ended with the reality of life on campus: constant questions and the slow realisation that I count for nothing in my own society. I sometimes wonder why I ever came. It baffles me how a society can be so brutal as to impose such harshness on someone who does not want to fight. I believe no one can call themselves educated who does not respect that which belongs to others. Yet I cannot express even these sentiments without fear of reprisal.
