There are various religious minorities in Pakistan which have been rendered vulnerable due to their social, economic, political and legal status in the country. COVID-19 adds to their social dilemma by putting them in a rather more exposed status, as they are entirely dependent on the benevolence of government and the majority community. Thus, there exists a crucial need to document the circumstances of these religious minorities in Pakistan under the rapidly evolving scenarios. For most of these communities COVID-19 is a secondary threat, as their more immediate concern is precariously balanced on existential lines.

These community blogs will offer a wide purview of the community voices under the threat of a global pandemic.
