UNDERSTANDING THE CRISIS
Why Enforced Disappearances Persist
The Systemic Failure
Enforced disappearances are not mere accidents; they represent a systemic bypass of the legal framework. When the judicial process is ignored, individuals are taken into custody without official records, leaving families in a state of perpetual "ambiguous loss."
A Violation of Life
Article 9 of the Constitution of Pakistan guarantees the security of a person. Enforced disappearances are a direct assault on this fundamental right, creating a culture of fear and silencing dissent within the community.
The Psychological Impact
The "Grief History" of families documented in our database shows that the pain of not knowing is often worse than the pain of loss. These disappearances serve as a tool for political repression, targeting the social fabric of Sindh.
