Mother’s Day is a time when the world celebrates the love, sacrifice, and strength of mothers. But in Balochistan, this day carries a weight far heavier than flowers or gifts can bear. For many Baloch mothers, this is not just a day of remembrance — it is a day of survival. It is a day of holding on to hope in the face of unbearable pain.
These are the mothers whose children have been forcibly disappeared — taken without explanation, without justice. These are the women who have waited for years, holding nothing but photographs and memories, marching in silence, crying out for answers that never come.
Baloch mothers do not just carry grief; they carry resistance. Their strength shakes the conscience of the world. They are not just mothers — they are warriors, standing firm in the face of fear and silence.
They didn’t choose this fight — it was forced upon them. And yet, every day, they rise. They walk, they protest, they speak. With broken hearts but unbreakable will, they demand justice not only for their own children, but for all those who have vanished into the darkness.
This message is not just a tribute — it’s a promise:
We are with you.
You are not alone.
Your pain is ours. Your fight is ours.
Your children are not forgotten.
Your voices are not fading — they are growing louder.
On this Mother’s Day, we honor you not with shallow words, but with deep respect. Your courage is a light in a world full of darkness. Your tears are not in vain. Your struggle is writing a history of resilience that no one can erase.
We believe that the day will come when you will hold your children again.
We believe that truth will win.
We believe that justice, however delayed, will rise.
To the mothers of Balochistan — we salute you.
You are the soul of your land.
You are the heartbeat of a resistance that will not be silenced.
You are not forgotten. You never will be.
Happy Mother’s Day — not just as mothers, but as symbols of unstoppable love, unshakable strength, and unmatched dignity.
With love, respect, and endless solidarity,
A fellow human, who stands with you — now and always
