Part 6/9:
Just as Ali's family is caught in this painful web, another victim's story pierces through the gloom; Sayed Kumal Hussein was another young man who left with dreams of a better life, only to end up a victim of human trafficking. His father, left to mourn alone, shed light on the sinister underbelly of migration, revealing that Hussein had been tortured and ultimately lost his life while trying to realize his dreams. With no answers and substantial loss, families are left to ask: what actions are being taken to stem the tide of illegal migration?
Local journalist and social worker Imran Bashier emphasizes the desperation felt among young men in rural areas, stressing that for many, leaving Pakistan has become nearly synonymous with survival.
