Kashmir Emergency Appeal

Over 95,000 deaths in last 70 years, the cause of 3 wars between two states – Kashmir is the hottest conflict zone in the world. Kashmir is world’s most heavily occupied and militarised region. Kashmiris are having to live their lives in fear of war at all times.

Under the United Nation’s regulation, Kashmir had a special status. It could not be directly ruled by India. However, in August 2019 Indian government changed the status of Kashmir and imposed its rule on the Kashmir. They took away the basic rights away from the local population and political leaders.

This act has caused tensions between locals, Indian army and Pakistan. Since then the situation has got worse in Indian Occupied Kashmir and LOC area of Azad Kashmir.

Unite 4 Humanity has launched it’s Kashmir Emergency Appeal to help Kashmiris on both sides of the border.

U4H Helping Poor & Needy In Kashmir

Due to the remoteness of certain parts of Kashmir, they are not as developed as other parts of the country. Millions of Kashmiris live in extreme poverty. They do not have enough resources to provide food and clean drinking water for their families.

Poverty is caused due to the lack of access to basic human rights like education, health care, food, clean drinking water, and infrastructure.

Since the establishment, Unite 4 Humanity is working in various parts of Kashmir. Our charitable projects range from providing food packs for the poor and needy to set up educational institutions to help educate the youth of the country.

Jammu Kashmir

Jammu Kashmir is under the control of the Indian Government. Indian controlled Kashmir is approximately 60% of the total of Kashmir in terms of its area.

The Kashmir conflict is a territorial conflict primarily between India and Pakistan, having started just after the partition of Indian Sub-Continent in 1947. India and Pakistan have fought three wars over Kashmir, including the Indo-Pakistani Wars of 1947 and 1965, as well as the Kargil War of 1999.

Due to this instability in the area and damage caused by natural disasters, the region does need aid from time to time.

In 2019, The right wing Indian government led by Mr Modi revoked the special status accorded to Indian-administered Kashmir in its constitution, the most far-reaching political move on the disputed region in nearly 70 years. This has taken the tensions in the region to a boiling point.

After the move, India has sent thousands of additional troops to the disputed region, imposed a crippling curfew, shut down telecommunications and internet, and arrested political leaders. To this date these troops are occupying all towns, cities and villages with Muslim majority.

Azad Kashmir

Azad Kashmir is under the control of the Pakistani Government. Pakistan controlled Kashmir is approximately 40% of the total of Kashmir in terms of its area.

Over the years due to severe damage caused by the first earthquake in the mid-2000s, again in 2015, flooding and other natural disasters, the area has fallen deeper into poverty. A lack of development by the authorities is also causing the region to fall way behind the rest of the world.

People of Azad Kashmir are very friendly and appreciative of the support they receive, especially from the UK. Our aim is to continue our projects within the area.

In September 2019, Azad Kashmir and various parts of Pakistan were devastated by an earthquake. Alhamdulillah, the numbers of casualties weren’t as high as in previous natural disasters. However, in terms of damage to buildings and infrastructure, this earthquake caused destruction across the region.

Unite 4 Humanity’s Charity Work in Kashmir

The scope of success and seeing the positive results of charity work in Kashmir are huge. People of Kashmir always respond positively to any projects whether it is a school, masjid, madrasah, housing or any other aid project.

Unite 4 Humanity have been working in Kashmir for a long time, our team knows the area very well and have plenty of ongoing projects related to education, housing and medical in the region.

Human Rights Violations Are Common in Occupied Kashmir

Police torture, army arrests, extrajudicial killings and rape are common in Indian Occupied Kashmir. No one is there to raise voice for these voiceless. The international community has turned a blind eye on the whole situation. There are thousands of men who are missing and their families don’t know the whereabouts of their loved ones. According to Jammu Kashmir Coalition of Civil Society, more than 10,000 men have disappeared since the start of the conflict.

Support the Half Widows of Indian Occupied Kashmir

Women are the silent victims of conflict in Jammu and Kashmir. Since the escalation in the conflict Indian troops have abducted over 10,000 men and boys. These men and boys have been forcibly picked up from their homes, workplaces, fields and the streets. This has left thousands of women as ‘half-widows’. The lives of these women are even more wretched than those of the widows, who at least can bury their husbands, grieve and find some closure.

The wives of these missing men are striving to raise their children, experience severe and complex economic, legal, social and psychological problems on their own. Unable to inherit, ineligible for pensions, their poverty is driving many of them into depression, and suicide.

These abductions aren’t new to Kashmir conflict. Indian army has been abducting Kashmiri men and boys since the late 80s.

Ironically, India is one of the governments signed up to the ICPPED (international convention for the protection of all persons from enforced disappearance).

U4H asks The UK government to use all of its options – diplomatic and in context of our aid policies – to put pressure on Indian Government to rescind this revocation and cease oppressing the Kashmiri people.

For more information about the half-widows please visit this article in Guardian Newspaper.
