Minorities in Pakistan often face a uphill battle of coexistence, yet their voices are suppressed. In connection to Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy’s ongoing efforts to highlight the voice of religious minorities about the discrimination they face in Pakistan, SOC Films and the National Commission for Human Rights (NCHR) have officially launched a collaborative 5-part short documentary series Forsaken.<\/em><\/p>\n

The event, titled Ending Systemic Discrimination Against Minorities,<\/em> was held at the Marriot Hotel in Islamabad for the launch of the fact-finding Report on Minority Rights.<\/p>\n

Forsaken<\/em> series presents a moving set of stories highlighting important issues that affect a younger generation of religious minorities living in Pakistan today. From Hyderabad to Quetta and beyond, the moving portraits of five young people attempting to get ahead in life despite their ‘minority’ status are presented on screen, thereby creating a discourse about what it means to grow up as a minority in the country. These first person accounts provide a window into how Pakistan\u2019s minorities are perceived by the wider society.<\/p>\n
