The World Sindhi Congress (WSC) has announced that its Chairperson, Dr. Rubina Shaikh, has been elected President of the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization (UNPO).
“This remarkable achievement underscores Dr. Shaikh’s unwavering dedication to advocating for the rights of unrepresented nations and peoples worldwide. She served the organization as vice president for the last two years,” a WSC press release said.
The UNPO, founded in 1991, is an international membership organization with over 40 members. It provides a platform for nations and peoples who lack representation in major international forums to voice their concerns and advocate for their rights on the global stage. The WSC joined UNPO in 2016, seeking support in its struggle for the Sindhi people’s right to self-determination.
Through UNPO, the WSC has gained access to international platforms, raising awareness of the Sindhi people’s unique cultural identity and the challenges they face in Pakistan. Dr. Shaikh’s election as President is a testament to her strong leadership and tireless efforts in promoting human rights, democracy, and self-determination for Sindh.
“I am deeply honored to have been chosen as President of UNPO,” said Dr. Shaikh. “I am committed to working collaboratively with all members to ensure that the voices of unrepresented nations and peoples are heard loud and clear. Together, we can build a stronger, more inclusive global community.” (PR)
