The Language of Accountability in Pakistan

By Fayyaz Yaseen Almost all the words referring to accountability in one way or another – such as responsiveness, transparency, participation, inclusion, accountability, rule of law – are used just as they are (as English words), despite the fact that there are stronger Urdu corresponding words that can spell out an even stronger meaning that also relates to the local context.

Rethinking the Pink Economy in Pakistan

The confusion she felt since her childhood began to abate and instead of fighting internally against her gender identity, she began to focus outwards [...]
