He clutched all the documents that made up the life of his 21-year-old son, Rohullah, who was the reason his family was headed back to Kabul for the first time in decades. Rohullah was killed instantly when a missile struck the Tehran apartment complex he had been staying in: “My son was martyred,” Noorullah said.
- [The next global health crisis is already here: Childhood trauma from war](https://the-secularist.com/the-next-global-health-crisis-is-already-here-childhood-trauma-from-war/) - The brutal reality of wars unfolding in our world, such as the current war in Ukraine, the Iran-Israel-US conflict, or the devastating humanitarian crisis in Gaza, reveals that war is never just fought on battlefields. It is fought on every road, in every schoolyard, and in every home.

- [Listening before helping: Why community involvement is essential for peace in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh](https://the-secularist.com/listening-before-helping-why-community-involvement-is-essential-for-peace-in-coxs-bazar-bangladesh/) - The arrival of more than 1 million Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh since 2017 has transformed the social and economic landscape of Cox’s Bazar district.
- [The return of sex testing in sport risks harming women athletes rather than protecting them](https://the-secularist.com/the-return-of-sex-testing-in-sport-risks-harming-women-athletes-rather-than-protecting-them/) - The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has announced a new policy on the protection of the women’s category that will force thousands of elite women athletes from around the world to undergo genetic sex testing in order to compete.
- [The Olympics’ transgender athlete ban is a legal and moral minefield](https://the-secularist.com/the-olympics-transgender-athlete-ban-is-a-legal-and-moral-minefield/) - The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has confirmed it is introducing a controversial new policy that will ban transgender athletes from competing in women’s events. The IOC stated eligibility for women’s events will be determined by a “once-in-a-lifetime” sex test, which would prevent transgender women and those with differences in sexual development from competing.
- [Land Day and the Palestinian struggle after 30 months of genocide](https://the-secularist.com/land-day-and-the-palestinian-struggle-after-30-months-of-genocide/) - Every year on 30 March, Palestinians mark Yom al-Ard, Land Day. The phrase sounds almost harmless to those who have never lived inside its meaning, like a date for folklore, celebrating our roots, or perhaps honouring our sentimental attachment to olive trees and generationally inherited fields. But Land Day is not a charming ritual of heritage. It is a political wound. An annual acknowledgement of a truth that much of the world still tries to ignore, soften, or bury: In Palestine, our struggle has always been about the land. Simply, it is about our right to exist on our own land, and the violence that has been mobilised against us because of our refusal to disappear from it.
- [Our generation will continue resisting the Taliban’s restrictions on women and girls](https://the-secularist.com/our-generation-will-continue-resisting-the-talibans-restrictions-on-women-and-girls/) - I am well familiar with the term “war between the Taliban and the government” because I have witnessed the trade-offs and conflicts between the two sides since my childhood. Our fate has always fluctuated because of their actions and decisions.
- [How AI weaponises confusion to fuel harm and block accountability](https://the-secularist.com/how-ai-weaponises-confusion-to-fuel-harm-and-block-accountability/) - Every morning, millions across conflict zones reach for their phones. They search for news. What greets them – alongside the genuine – is a flood of deceptive synthetic imagery. This is not an accident. It is an industry. Iranian missiles reducing Tel Aviv to rubble. American soldiers paraded before Iranian cameras. Skyscrapers in the UAE collapsing in fireballs. None of it happened. A lot of it is going viral to hundreds of millions of viewers.
- [How did an Afghan woman journalist’s writing resonate in China?](https://the-secularist.com/how-did-an-afghan-woman-journalists-writing-resonate-in-china/) - When Afghan journalist Khadija Haidary fled the Taliban, she never imagined that her writing would reach readers thousands of miles away in China. Yet it did — prompting small but meaningful acts of support that empowered her to move forward amid her uncertain situation. In China, where civil society is tightly regulated and spontaneous cross-border humanitarian support is rare, her letters, which evolved into a book titled “A Letter from an Afghan Woman,” sparked an unexpected cross-border solidarity with the oppressed women from far away. Rather than forming a visible movement, these responses took shape as quiet, individual acts, revealing how solidarity adapts under constraint.

The conflict’s opening blows on February 28 killed senior leaders in Tehran, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei – prompting retaliatory missile and drone attacks on Israel, US bases and Gulf infrastructure.
- [Fake visas and complex databases: Tech’s role in exploiting migrant workers](https://the-secularist.com/fake-visas-and-complex-databases-techs-role-in-exploiting-migrant-workers/) - From Saudi Arabia to Nepal and the UK, vulnerable workers are exploited due to a lack of digital and financial literacy When I first left Nepal to work as a salesman in Saudi Arabia, my contract said my new employer would provide accommodation. It didn’t state what kind of accommodation, but I didn’t give it
- [Menstrual leave is not just a holiday but a necessary relief](https://the-secularist.com/menstrual-leave-is-not-just-a-holiday-but-a-necessary-relief/) - Some people menstruate. That is not a mere thought or a social construct; it is a biological reality. Yet, societies continue to respond to this fact with discomfort, silence, shame, and, occasionally, outright denial. Recently, the Indian Supreme Court dismissed a plea demanding to set up menstrual leave for working women and students, claiming that such
- [Undoing a decade of progress for transgender rights in India](https://the-secularist.com/undoing-a-decade-of-progress-for-transgender-rights-in-india/) - A Bill has been proposed in India’s lower house of Parliament that strikes at the core of transgender people’s right to bodily autonomy and privacy as guaranteed by the Supreme Court of India in a landmark 2014 judgment, National Legal Services Authority (NALSA) v. Union of India. Activists have therefore called the bill “unconstitutional” and “dangerous,” and as it

Since the protests that erupted last December 28, human rights groups have reported an increase in armed patrols and checkpoints along major roads and city intersections.Soldiers and members of the Basij militia stand with military rifles, stopping

The home secretary, Shabana Mahmood, has laid out a series of reforms that will affect refugees seeking safety in Britain. Mahmood argues that these changes – which include removing financial and housing support for asylum seekers who break the law, and offering incentive payments for asylum seekers whose

Where’s the outrage?](https://the-secularist.com/pakistan-bombed-a-kabul-rehab-centre-wheres-the-outrage/) - As rain continued to fall, a mother trudged through the mud carrying her baby son. The playful yellow onesie she had wrapped him up in brought to mind a mix between Pikachu and a cartoon duckling. Her daughter, whose hair was pulled up in a playful top knot, struggled to keep up with the harried mother.
- [Veterans Who Depend on Mental Health Care Keep Losing Their Therapists Under Trump](https://the-secularist.com/veterans-affairs-mental-health-therapists-quit-trump/) - As Jason Beaman recounts his long slog searching for mental health therapy last year, he sounds defeated. The first therapist assigned to him by the Department of Veterans Affairs told him at their initial meeting that she was leaving the agency. A few months later, his second therapist told him she was also leaving. An appointment with a third counselor was canceled with no explanation.
- [Preventable deaths in a warming world: how politics shapes who lives and who dies](https://the-secularist.com/preventable-deaths-in-a-warming-world-how-politics-shapes-who-lives-and-who-dies/) - In Brownsville, Texas, three members of the Galvan family died after a malfunctioning air conditioner left them exposed to extreme heat. Aged between 60 and 82, all three had chronic health conditions, including diabetes and heart disease. This makes it harder for the body to regulate temperature and increases vulnerability to heat stress.Nobody arrived to
- [Authorities push back against International Women’s Day march in Pakistan](https://the-secularist.com/authorities-push-back-against-international-womens-day-march-in-pakistan/) - This year, on March 8, International Women’s Day, participants of the Islamabad chapter of the Aurat March (Women’s March) faced extreme brutality and arrests by the authorities after attempting to hold their annual rally in Pakistan’s capital. Organizers from the feminist collective Hum Aurtein say police used force to disperse the gathering and arrested more than 35 women, including several well-known activists. Authorities accused the group of violating Section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, a legal provision that bans public assemblies in designated areas.
- [Democracy needs women: Feminist leadership in times of shrinking enabling environments for civil society](https://the-secularist.com/democracy-needs-women-feminist-leadership-in-times-of-shrinking-enabling-environments-for-civil-society/) - At a time when democratic backsliding is no longer an abstract warning but a lived reality across continents, feminist leaders are quietly — and often at personal risk — holding the line.

The US and Israel have not produced any evidence that Iran posed an imminent threat to either of them. And neither has brought the matter to the UN Security Council. As such, this was

It was not a geopolitical crisis, nor another economic dispute between competing powers. Instead, it was a scandal that cut through the moral frontiers of the world’s most powerful elites.The name at its centre: the Epstein Files.But even now,

The ‘platform’ needs to dissolve. Knowledge does not descend from a raised stage or an academic institution. Knowledge circulates among bodies in proximity and their minds. The actor and the audience blur into one another. The researcher and the community must also do the same.
- [New Laws by the Taliban are Misogynistic, not Religious](https://the-secularist.com/new-laws-by-the-taliban-are-misogynistic-not-religious/) - Since the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan returned to power in 2021 under Taliban leadership, the situation for women in Afghanistan has deteriorated sharply. State-sanctioned discrimination has further eroded the already limited freedoms and autonomy of Afghan women, with new decrees systematically restricting their rights and legitimising increasingly severe forms of oppression.
- [India: Why Hindu nationalism and Zionism are ideological cousins](https://the-secularist.com/india-why-hindu-nationalism-and-zionism-are-ideological-cousins/) - The results are in for India’s general election. The country’s prime minister, Narendra Modi, has won enough seats to stay in charge for a third consecutive term.

Yunus told the Guardian he had come under 20 years of pressure from the Bangladeshi government for his work, which is credited with improving the lives of millions of poor people, particularly women.
- [Laws that limit women’s employment in India](https://the-secularist.com/laws-that-limit-womens-employment-in-india/) - In India, women continue to face discrimination as job seekers because of their gender. This discrimination is reinforced by the more than 150 laws that prohibit or limit women’s employment in certain industries—the generation of petroleum, the manufacturing of products such as oils and rechargeable batteries, and in establishments selling or serving liquor—especially during night-time. In 2022, Prosperiti analysed more than 200 regulations to understand which kinds of work women are excluded from. We also reviewed 26 judicial rulings to study how such discrimination is handled by courts of law.

The BJP won 240 seats, a plurality, which still allows it to lead, but via a coalition government in India’s parliamentary system.The party won

The answer isn’t straightforward](https://the-secularist.com/who-can-form-a-government-in-pakistans-post-election-chaos-the-answer-isnt-straightforward/) - Since the founding of Pakistan in 1947, not a single prime minister has served the full five-year term. If this fact betokens a country marked by instability and sudden changes in the political mood then last week’s remarkable elections have done little to change that reputation. The electoral analysts were proved wrong, as candidates loyal to the imprisoned former prime minister, Imran Khan, stunned outside observers – and even the country’s political elite – by winning the most seats. One thing can now be predicted with confidence: a new period of political turmoil.
- [Sonakshi, Swara, Richa And The Right To Choose](https://the-secularist.com/sonakshi-swara-richa-and-the-right-to-choose/) - When Swara Bhasker announced last year that she was marrying Fahad Ahmad, I thanked her for being a lighthouse for Indian lovers. Her marriage was a wake-up call to all young people that they can and should be in charge of their love stories. It was a booster shot for interfaith, intercaste and LGBTQIA+ lovers

The scene is almost surreal: An age-old deity dressed in Christian attire
- [Shame in English? India Deserves Better Than Linguistic Distractions](https://the-secularist.com/shame-in-english-india-deserves-better-than-linguistic-distractions/) - A fresh round of political controversy has erupted after senior figures aligned with Prime Minister Narendra Modi suggested that Indians should feel “ashamed” of speaking English. The comments, framed as a reclaiming of cultural pride, tap into a long-running attempt to position Hindi, and by extension a Hindu-majoritarian identity, at the centre of national life.

For decades, poor infrastructure, geographic isolation, and structural inequalities deepened women’s vulnerabilities. The absence of roads, electricity, schools, healthcare, and safe water meant that women bore disproportionate burdens, walking miles for water, dropping out of
