Blue Economy: The Game Changer for Pakistan (Part 1)
The oceans cover more than 70% of the surface of our earth which -in return- indicates that it also plays a part in regulating our Earth’s climate.

The story of the mothers of Aka-nandun spins a folktale that idealizes the sacrifice and selflessness of women despite the torment she faces on losing her child.

A key factor in the propagation of gender-based violence lies in the foundations of the nation-state building process.
