‘FUNDING, funding and regular funding’ is what Pakistani women athletes say they need most to compete internationally. Talent alone, they point out, cannot take them to the world stage; it must be backed by quality equipment, top-notch coaching, proper training facilities, nutrition and the means to travel and compete. For most athletes, both male and female, except those supported by the departmental sports system such as the Pakistan Army, Wapda, the Higher Education Commission, National Bank, Pakistan Railways, police and airlines, the struggle begins long before competition day: finding the resources simply to stay in the game. State patronage is limited, private sponsorship even scarcer — and for women, almost non-existent. Even for female athletes with supportive families or relatively privileged backgrounds, funding remains a constant struggle. Eman Khan, who won the gold at the 2024 International Mixed Martial Arts Federation Asian Championships, receives only sporadic private sponsorships. To sustain her career in the intensely male-dominated and often ‘violent’ world of the martial arts, she relies on coaching others to fund her own training and competition expenses. The barriers are even greater for girls from Pakistan’s remotest and poorest districts. Without sponsors or financial backing, many are forced to quit before their talent is ever discovered; this is not just an individual but also a national loss. Stadiums are largely empty and media attention wanes when it comes to women playing sports. In Jacobabad, the Star Women’s Sports Academy, the only women’s sports club in Larkana division, trains 32 girls from low-income homes in football, hockey, cricket and tennis for free. But with little funding and a severe shortage of equipment, many aspiring players are turned away. The club cannot afford to send athletes to private tournaments. Founded in 2017 by hockey player Erum Baloch, in April the academy had to appeal on social media for basic gear — goalkeeping kits, hockey sticks and balls. Baloch, who teaches at a private institution, uses much of her own salary to keep the club — her passion — running. Help poured in from ordinary citizens and philanthropists. Even a sportswoman from Peshawar rushed to ensure the girls had the equipment they needed to continue playing. The appeal is a stark reflection of the lack of official support for women’s sports. Similarly, last year, after reading about the plight of these athletes, the Australian high commission helped fund a hockey training camp for them in Islamabad. However, ad hoc support and one-off training cannot produce national or international athletes. When coaches constantly scramble for basic equipment, training becomes inconsistent, eroding the very backbone of competitive sport. Star Academy is far from the only women’s sports club trudging along with limited resources. Founders in Karachi, Hyderabad and Mirpurkhas say they often reach into their own pockets to keep girls playing — from water to rickshaw fares, they even buy shoes for those who cannot afford them. At the same time, they have to spend hours convincing hesitant parents to let their daughters continue. But this financial strain is intertwined with harassment within the system. Coaches have observed that girls from poorer, more conservative homes — some describe their charges as ‘less educated, less confident and unable to speak in English’ — often become a target of sexual harassment. Many girls stay quiet for fear of being pressured to leave the sports premises — or the sport itself. Others, the coaches allege, are sidelined (even if talented) as ‘punishment’ for refusing the inappropriate advances of male officials who influence selection and careers. Another reason why women’s sport remains chronically underfunded compared to men’s, said Dr Sadia Sheikh, founder of Pakistan’s first women’s sports club, Diya Academy (established in 2002), is that: “Women’s sports are less marketable.” “Inn ki tau kal shadi ho jai ge; hum ko kiya return milay ga?” (Tomorrow these women will get married; if we invest in them, what returns will we get?) is a common excuse by corporations for turning them away, she said. This dismissive attitude, pointed out Dr Sheikh, is reinforced by the lacklustre viewership: stadiums remain largely empty and media attention wanes when it comes to women playing sports. However, in sports such as cricket and football, there has been some positive development of late. The state and private sponsors are investing in female athletes. The latter receive enviable packages (though not equal to their male counterparts’) consisting of comfortable accommodation, good meals, daily allowances and even salaries or stipends, when compared to female athletes in other sports. They are even sent abroad for training and also get a chance to play against international teams. Yet women in field hockey remain under the radar. It would be worth asking if our women’s national hockey team has qualified for the 2026 16-nation World Cup set to be held in Belgium and the Netherlands in August. Surely a country whose national sport is hockey must have a strong women’s team to be sent alongside its male counterpart! Recently, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif approved budgetary allocations to promote sports and supported a sports endowment fund for veterans, while also pledging “all-out support” and equal opportunities for women in sport. However, a dedicated national fund for women athletes is yet to be announced. But there is still time to act. The Pakistan Sports Board, along with the national federations, is drafting a four-year athlete development programme and has sought a budget increase from Rs1.2 billion to Rs4.9bn to support training, coaching, infrastructure and international participation. Before the PM gives his final approval, and before flagship projects, such as the Rs2.85bn Arshad Nadeem High Performance Sports Academy in Islamabad or the Rs 241 million multi-purpose sports complex in Faisalabad move ahead, it is worth asking what place, if any, women athletes occupy in this vision. Their struggles are systemic. The answer lies not only in more funding, but in fairer allocation, stronger governance, greater media visibility and genuine inclusion. Without that, financial investment will not change the game. The writer is an independent journalist based in Karachi. X: @zofeen28 Published in Dawn, June 3rd, 2026
Richard Gadd’s follow-up to Baby Reindeer is a relentlessly punishing look at characters being crushed by the unending horror of their lives. At times, it feels like it was made by emo teens If you look up Baby Reindeer on Netflix, you’ll find it categorised as a comedy series. This may come as news to anyone who has actually seen it, because they might have been labouring under the delusion that it was a terror-filled rolling panic attack of a show, sitting somewhere between psychological thriller and all-out horror. But the initial labelling makes some level of sense. Richard Gadd was a comedian and Baby Reindeer was based on his Edinburgh show of the same name. Plus, what could be cuter than a baby reindeer? It would be very simple to infer some level of comedy from the description. Continue reading...

• From upscale to low-income areas, residents complain of weeks without water as demand peaks during Eidul Azha • Disrupted supply leaves many people dependent on expensive tankers for animal care, sanitation and household needs • KWSC chief claims utility taking all-out measures to ensure ‘uninterrupted supply’ during Eid days KARACHI: With Eidul Azha being celebrated on Wednesday (today), residents of the metropolis are marking the second month of an acute water crisis that has left taps dry, tanker queues long and tempers frayed. For many families, the festival of sacrifice now means sacrificing sleep to chase tankers, and sacrificing savings to buy water for ritual washings, animal care and sanitation. This is not the first time the city has faced Eid amid a severe water shortage. Residents call it a grim tradition of the Karachi Water and Sewerage Corporation (KWSC) to fail during the city’s most critical moments — Eids, Ramazan, Eid Miladun Nabi and Muharram — when water is indispensable for both ritual and routine. Since late March, a series of line bursts, underground leaks, power breakdowns at pumping stations, and damage to key mains have choked supply across the city, turning routine chores into daily battles. Speaking to Dawn, KWSC Chief Executive Officer Ahmed Ali, however, maintained that the utility “was ensuring normal supply during Eid”. He blamed K-Electric (KE) and frequent power breakdowns for the disruptions. “KWSC relies on KE for electricity, and those abrupt outages damage main lines, disrupting water supply,” he added. The water utility chief said comprehensive arrangements had been made to ensure an uninterrupted water supply and efficient sewage management during the festive season. He said all executive engineers would remain on standby, with staff and machinery available round the clock. However, the water crisis is set to hit hardest during Eidul Azha, when water demand surges for cleaning, animal care, and sanitation as families prepare for qurbani. Akbar Hussain, a shopkeeper in Orangi Town, said they were sacrificing a cow at home, but there had been no water supply for days. “We will sacrifice the cow in the morning, and I thought that KWSC would help us by providing water, but the utility didn’t do that,” he lamented. In late March, repeated power outages at critical pumping stations slashed supply during peak summer demand, with tail-end localities in Lyari, Saddar, Orangi and Korangi reporting dry lines for days. Over the past two months, opposition parties in the Sindh Assembly and the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation City Council have repeatedly criticised the provincial government and the city’s sole water utility in their sessions for failing to ensure a smooth supply. In April, the city faced a 48-hour shortfall of 250 million gallons per day (MGD) as work began to connect a new line to the existing network at the Dhabeji pumping station. But supply remained disrupted for two weeks after another main line ruptured during a sudden power breakdown. May began with three 72-inch diameter lines at the Dhabeji pumping station bursting on a Monday following a power breakdown, causing a further shortfall. Tanker prices soar While taps ran dry for weeks in many localities and for over two months in others, desperate residents turned to tankers, but with supply so limited, most waited seven to 10 days for one, and many never got it at all. Prices for water tankers have since doubled. “It’s been 11 weeks without water in our lane,” said Ejaz Ahmed, a wedding hall employee in Khokhrapar, Malir. “We beg tankers every day. They take Rs8,000 and say ‘wait your turn’. What are we supposed to do?” he said. A resident of PECHS said he had registered for a KWSC tanker 10 days ago. “No one came, and I don’t know what to do in the morning,” he dejectedly said. Residents in several areas, including Clifton, DHA, Gulshan-i-Iqbal, Gulistan-i-Jauhar and North Nazimabad, said that private tankers had doubled their rates. A resident said that private tankers are now asking for Rs12,000. “It was Rs6,000 last month,” he added. In low-income areas and shantytowns, vendors on pushcarts, donkey carts and Suzuki pickups selling small tanks also charged desperate residents exorbitant prices. Meanwhile, a water utility spokesman said that the water tanker service would remain suspended on the first two days of Eid. It may be noted that only 15 to 18 MGD of water is supplied through tankers across the city, which receives 650 MGD against a demand of over 1,250 MGD. Published in Dawn, May 27th, 2026

A gas explosion at a coal mine in northern China has killed at least 90 people, state media reported on Saturday, the country’s biggest mining disaster in 17 years. The blast occurred at 7:29pm on Friday at the Liushenyu coal mine in Shanxi province, according to state news agency Xinhua. At least 90 people had died and 123 others were sent to hospital for treatment, four of whom were in critical or severe condition, state broadcaster CCTV said. Of those sent for treatment, 33 had returned home as of 2:00pm on Saturday, it added. A total of 755 emergency and medical personnel were dispatched to the site, with rescue efforts still ongoing Saturday afternoon, CCTV added. Survivor and injured miner Wang Yong told CCTV there was a “puff of smoke” and he smelled sulphur. He recalled seeing people choked by the smoke before he fainted. “I lay down for about an hour and woke up by myself. I called the people next to me and got out of the mine together,” Wang said, according to CCTV. Helmeted rescuers were carrying stretchers at the site, with ambulances visible in the background, video by CCTV showed. President Xi Jinping urged “all-out efforts” to treat the injured and called for thorough investigations into the incident, Xinhua said. He “emphasised that all regions and departments must draw lessons from this accident, remain constantly vigilant regarding workplace safety… and resolutely prevent and curb the occurrence of major and catastrophic accidents”. A person “responsible for” the company involved in the explosion has been “placed under control in accordance with the law”, Xinhua said. Premier Li Qiang called for timely and accurate release of information and rigorous accountability. State media initially reported four deaths and dozens trapped after levels of carbon monoxide — a highly toxic, odourless gas — in the mine were found to have “exceeded limits”. Some of those stuck underground were in “critical condition”, that report said. The death toll then jumped sharply as the morning wore on. The mine is operated by Shanxi Tongzhou Group Liushenyu Coal Industry, which was established in 2010 and is controlled by Shanxi Tongzhou Coal Coking Group, according to corporate database Qichacha. Lax safety protocols Shanxi, one of China’s poorer provinces, is the country’s coal-mining capital. Mine safety in the country has improved in recent decades, but accidents still occur in an industry where safety protocols are often lax and regulations vague. In 2023, a collapse at an open-pit coal mine in the northern Inner Mongolia region killed 53 people. And in 2009, an explosion at a mine in northeastern Heilongjiang province killed more than 100. China is the world’s top consumer of coal and the largest greenhouse gas emitter, despite installing renewable energy capacity at record speed. President Zardari offers condolences Separately, President Asif Ali Zardari expressed profound grief and sorrow over the explosion. In a statement issued by the Presidency, the President conveyed his heartfelt condolences and sympathies to the Chinese president, the bereaved families and the people of China over the tragic accident. “The people of Pakistan stand in solidarity with their Chinese brothers and sisters during this difficult time,” the statement quoted him as saying. The president also expressed sympathy with those injured in the accident and prayed for their early recovery. He expressed hope that the ongoing rescue efforts would succeed in bringing the remaining trapped workers to safety. He also appreciated the rescue and emergency response efforts undertaken by the Chinese authorities following the incident, the statement said.
Six emergency rescue teams consisting of 345 personnel have since been sent to the scene, the Xinhua state news agency reported on Saturday.
An explosion in a coal mine in northern China has killed at least 82 people, with some still unaccounted for, state media say. President Xi Jinping has demanded an "all-out" effort to search for and rescue those missing.

South Africa finally registered their first win in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 by defeating Afghanistan by nine wickets in Cardiff on Saturday. It was not the most convincing display from the Proteas but in the end a good bowling performance led by Imran Tahir meant that victory was a forgone conclusion. The leg-spinner was man-of-the-match for his 4/29 off seven overs. 1st Innings After winning the toss the Proteas decided to field first but the Afghans came out all guns blazing as they negotiated the fast bowling of Kagiso Rabada and Beuron Hendricks as Hazratullah Zazai and Noor Ali Zadran putting on 39 for the first wicket. Rain then came but after it went and play resuemed, Rabada dismissed Zazai. But then Zadran and Rahmat Shah kept things steady as rain came on for a longer time during their partnership to curtail the match to 48 over-a-side. After the rain break, Chris Morris took the wicket of Rahmat Shah and that sparked a big collapse. Captain Faf du Plessis rung in the changes to bring in Andile Phehlukwayo and he then took the wicket of Hashmatullah Shahidi who scored eight. Enter Imran Tahir in the 21st over and he immediately took the wicket for Zadran, who was cleaned up by a picture-perfect googly after scoring 32. There was some late fireworks from Rashid Khan, who top-scored with 35 and helped the Afghans cross the 100-run barrier, but after taking the attack to Tahir, he was caught at deep-midwicket by Rassie van der Dussen. Their innings ended at 125 all-out in just 34.1 overs. 2nd Innings In reply, openers Hashim Amla and Quinton de Kock started circumspect and scored just 35 runs in the first 10 overs. De Kock started to up the ante as South Africa reached the team 50 after 13 overs. The left-handed opener reached his half century a while later, off 58 balls. Amla was still plodding along, and visibly struggling to find his timing. South Africa were 91 for no loss after the first 20 overs, going slower than expected whereas one would have thought they’d want to bat faster and improve their net run rate. De Kock and Amla eventually brought up their 100-run opening partnership in 22.3 overs with Amla scoring just 34 and de Kock scoring almost his double at 64. The wicketkeeper-batsman was eventually dismissed for 68 as he was trying to up the ante and became Afghan captain Gulbadin Naib’s first and only wicket. Phehlukwayo was promoted up the order to finish things quickly and he did so by hitting the winning runs as he smashed a six in the fourth ball of the 29th over off the bowling of Mohammad Nabi. He scored 17 off as many balls while Amla, who still looked to be struggling for form remained not out on 41 from 83 balls. Points Table The win will come as a big relief for South Africa, even though they could have won with a better net run rate by batting faster. But their World Cup campaign remains alive by the thinnest of threads as they climb up to 7th place with three points from five games. They have to win all of their remaining games against New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Australia and have a good net run rate to make the semis. Unfortunately for the Afghans, this defeats ends any chance they would have had of making the semis and they are the first team eliminated with no points from four games.
