Naima Naeem a student of 3rd year from Rawalpindi
is standing in a girl's school garden in Sawat. The photo was taken
last week when she went Sawat to meet her best friend. Naima wants to
share her feelings and views about current circumstances of Sawat.
She
tells that Sawat is one of beautiful places in Pakistan.
The lush-green valley of Swat, with its rushing torrents, icy-cold
lakes, fruit-laden orchards and flower-decked slopes is an ideal place
for holiday-makers who intent to relax and enjoy the fruits
of nature.
But now what's going on in Sawat Valley
and who will stop this all? Despite the curfew every day we hear that
one or more school been destroyed in Sawat area. And girls are
especially told not to go to school or they can lose their lives. Teachers
are scared to teach. And security men are threatened and lose their
lives. Then question comes to mind, who will protect their right to get
educated? And open up their minds so they will raise people who will not
be easy prey to extremist and violent groups. We all know that how
vital it is to educate women for development
process. Things gradually changed regarding women education and rights
in rest of the Pakistan, but this reverse trend in Sawat is a drastic
down fall. Well Naima thank you very much for sending photo and sharing
your beautiful thoughts, we want to say just one thing to you that whole
Nation feels for people of Sawat and hate to see heavenly beauty brutally destroyed
