Call for peace and love
Youth of all nations, fuel of revolution and power of countries. Put peace in your souls and share it among people. Make life a better place for the weak and poor. Make our today a song for tomorrow's youth to sing. Never give up to the voice of the devil and light the fire in your homes. Remembering the youth who died in wars, is not a reason to fill your soul with violence, but to try to spread the peace. Don't listen to the call of devils who persuade you by violence and wars under words of religion or building new better countries. Don't be a word or letter in someone's agenda. Don't waste...
Do we need nuclear weapons?
As the world comes together to tackle global challenges such as climate change, food security and civil and interstate wars it is sad when some countries are left behind. Acquisition of nuclear weapon technology has left some countries isolated. The world leaders are fearing that nuclear weapons may enter the hands of terrorists and separatists if these countries happen to possess them. In fact, these countries cannot out rule that possibility if at the time being, they are involved in supporting different armed groups waging wars in different countries. Sadly, enough in their efforts to...
Developing a kinder society to make the world better
When I see news about terrorism, I feel sad. Why do people blame each other's religion? When I see so much racism around, I feel confused. Why should people be selective of other people, if we are same? Sometimes, I think...is it too hard to be respectful, tolerant and good? When terrorism is everywhere and it stands in the name of Islam, it's pretty scary. People start to judge Muslim's and say that we are terrorists. I'm Muslim and it hurts to know that your religion is being mistreated like that, almost everywhere. One day, my friend had to move abroad due to her parents' work. She told me...
World War Vs World Love

First Day of School Jitters? Let's Unite to #ENDViolence
Summer is almost over, teachers are preparing lesson plans, and classrooms are being tidied up. For millions of lucky schoolchildren around the world, this means one thing: it's time to go back to school! Yet for many these returning schoolchildren, the school environment is not a safe space to study and grow. Some children are naturally shy, others are bullied, and some are even threatened by the potential of a violent attack. #ENDViolence is UNICEF's campaign to address school safety, bullying, and inclusion. The campaign began when UNICEF asked young people around the world with their...
How long will we keep silent about peer violence?!
When will there be peace on Earth?
It is 6 AM in the morning, I wake up and prepare myself for a job. When listening to the morning news I learn that more than 70.8 million people are displaced by civil and interstate wars. This is really shocking me, but then I ask myself who will help to bring peace on Earth, if not me? Creation of peace on earth is a duty of all human beings. While the majority of us enjoy peaceful conditions in our countries, our joy will be completed when we can help the people who are displaced and deprived of comfortable places to sleep, study or work for an income. In many parts of the world, people...
Peace can be a reality
In a world of war, I searched for peace In a world of hate, I searched for love In a world of discrimination, I searched for acceptance In a world of racism, I searched for equality In a world of injustice, I searched for fairness But I found NONE. Then I decided I will be peace. By accepting my neighbour for who they are. Remember peace can be a reality if we do not make religion a barrier in loving my neighbour. Peace can be a reality if I am ready to put aside all differences and accept my neighbour with open arms. Peace starts with you and me. If we are not peaceful in our heart, we...
Stop fighting for peace
Should we fight for peace? Well this is what happens in the world. Countries are trying to control the world through wars nowadays. We are trying to get peace through war. That’s the problem: This is just like throwing wood in the fire instead of water. For centuries we have been trying to get peace, but with no results. There are many examples that you could look at to understand what exactly I mean by this. If you take a look at human history you’ll see that we’ve fought many wars and many battles in the name of peace, but where has that really gotten us? It is 2017 and we still have “war...
My home, an uncertain future
I am uncertain Uncertain of the future of my continent, Africa Uncertain of the realities I wish were myths What a devastating reality Piercing my heart-tarnishing my actual existence Shunning and shaming one brother Spreading the blood of one blood sister One own African blood From Liberia to Namibia, from Nigeria back to South Africa All around Africa, they say it's xenophobia But I say, it's ignorance in disguise and disgust Leaving me with so much uncertainty of the place I called home A home where the future holds no peace nor place Not for adults, children, or my unborn generations Am...
Be the voice of the voiceless- Animal cruelty
Do you consider yourself an animal lover? Have you ever taken a step forward and purchased an “animal-cruelty free” product? If so, what do you do when the same animals are subjected to torture? As a child being brought up in a small town of KP Pakistan, I saw teenagers hurling rocks at stray dogs and cats who ached and voiced their pain. Back then, my 10-year-old self clenched her dress with tiny hands and repeatedly, incessantly, called out the teenagers to stop. Tiny voices like mine were not powerful enough to suppress and bury the callousness of animal cruelty. Every now and then, a...
