About us

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.

Ravadar, as a blog series, documents real-life stories and struggles of religious minorities in Pakistan. Launched in 2020, this unique digital platform advocates the freedom of religious belief (FoRB) for all communities across the country. It keeps a keen eye on the intersection of gender, class and religious orientation while discussing marginalization faced by minorities.

During the pandemic COVID-19, Ravadar worked rigorously to make the voices of religious minorities heard both at home and beyond. The blogs published on Ravadar make it to the media and policy-making corridors, ensuring the plight of minorities does not remain invisible.

If you belong to a religious minority or want to contribute we would love for you to get in touch!
