I went to Pakistan (a country in continent of Asia)for a visit for 1 month.I saw many people there living without rights.They just didn't have one problem, they had lot's of problems like problems about transportation,shelter,food,education etc.It wasn't so happy to see people living without these rights but they had no other choice.
FOOD:Food was one of the major problem in Pakistan.There were lot's of people there living without food.Many of them even didn't have fresh water to drink.The things and grocery in Pakistan is really expensive many people can't afford to buy enough food for their family to survive.
SHELTER:Shelter is also a major problem in Pakistan.In villages people live in houses made out of mud but many of them don't even have mud houses they just live in tents which they set outside.I travelled and visited to so many places and cities in Pakistan and saw many people living out in tents. It was very sad.This is because the houses there in Pakistan are very very expensive.
TRANSPORTATION:Transportation is not very good in Pakistan. Most of the people who don't have any transport to travel, needs to travel in public transport which is sort of good but there aren't much facilities in public transport. I also have travelled in public transport but the journey wasn't so good they just overload the bus with many people. Some people keep standing all the time. There is not even space to put a foot in the bus. Women are standing and their children are crying. The bus ticket is very expensive but the people stand's no choice.
EDUCATION:Not everyone has a chance to go to school in Pakistan especially girls don't get to go to school. Half of the children don't get to go to school, instead of studying they do work.One of the main reasons that the children don't get to go to school is poverty.Most of the children work to feed their family and manage their home expenses and the other reason of not getting education is the school expenses.Some of the schools are very expensive that poor people can't afford.

ReplyDeleteUneeza,
ReplyDeletewe miss you! We have so much to learn about the world and Pakistan in particular. Appreciate your blogging about it. Do you have some photos from your trip?
What are the solutions to the problems you identify? What role does government play in all of that? How does the government make money to help with poverty, transportation, shelter, jobs, etc.?
Look forward to more!
