Voice of the Powerless | A Poem by Zartasha Niazi

When it comes to raising a voice against violence in my acreage
When it�s the moment to stand for the rights of marginalised
When it�s the time to defend humanity and speak loudly about the survival of disgraced innocents
When it�s the time to stand for the daughters and sisters of my nation who are killed in the name of honour and become victims of Vani and Sawra
Then we heard and saw a daring, fearless, brave, voice of powerfulness, an activist, a lawyer, a dignified woman
A woman of Pakistan
A voice of powerfulness
A woman that shakes the world with her voice, passion, actions, activism, determination, wisdom
Sadly the woman is not with us but her legacy remains alive, her activism remains alive, her words remain alive
Her voice for the powerless remains alive, her fearless spirits remains alive
The woman of Pakistan remains alive in our hearts, in our words in our work
