The unique life of Pakistan’s Wakhi shepherdesses - BBC 100 Women, BBC World Service

These mothers worked really hard and get their kids good education. And they never tried to compete or disgrace men in the name of women's rights or feminism.
Honored mothers if Gilgit Baltistan.
Love to wakhi people, from Gilgit.

Trajic that the old ways of tribal people around food sourcing: olive culture, coffee culture or pastoral living, are being bombed.

Bless Annar- So sprightly and nimble-footed.
May she enjoy good health far beyond her 88 years 🙏

When you look at these wonderful skyscraper mountain ranges, arrable valleys with flowing rivers and people who live in accordance with tradition preserving from generations; then you can ask how is it possibile that such country like Afghanistan permanently has to be affected by war that disturbs natural and cultural legacy and unable its developement? Unfortunately, the answer is clear. Clash of political interests that happens there since centuries and which intensified on the verge of XX and XXI that completely destroyed this country. These indigeneous people deserve for permanent peace without any external intervention neither political, used to combined with military actions; nor consumer modernism which negatively affects the local domestic traditions.

I wonder how many wolves remain?
Very few, I reckon.

Where did these ladies go after this last trip...

I really love the scenery and story

When I see such news I feel thankful for that I got that platform were my scripts are able to reach and make meaning and they feel so connected and Thanks to the Lord for providing that creativity in my script.
While I was writing the script of lost necklace of goddess and ashlan so much in that script it was because of the environment that of bliss.
When unwarranted people get involved for their wimps and fancy feel that work is hindered but such things are really life soothing.


Thanks to the Lord to make me go with scripts of various genre and for its fine creativity.

Beautiful place with beautiful people. I am from India and I sincerely offer my best wishes to them. Thanks for the video.

I understand mothers who do all for their babies.
Did the cold kill the babies I wonder or a germ perhaps since they lost so many

such beautiful grandmothers

I love the holding hands and dancing at the end. They have probably done that since childhood. Made me miss my cousins. Their bonds must be very strong towards one another. It is a beautiful thing.

Strong women

After Partition India and Pakistan.
In Pakistan so Many Tribes Culture in danger condition due to Conversion and Invasion of Islam

Subhannah Allah the language sounds to me like it has elements of greek and turkish. Very strong and beautiful women, May Allah keep them safe on their journeys🤲🏼

Ko'ch in a Turkic language(s) still means a moving and migration.

I am from the UK, but this is really interesting - thank you. It is a beautiful place. I did feel it brought us mothers in the world together as our issues are very similar - most of us mothers want to educate and provide for our children and work hard to do so whether there or over here. The lady whose 2 children died again that is a common very sad thing women share - it reminded me of my mother - whose last child, my sister, died as a baby and all those decades later she never forgot. Good luck to everyone in the valley. One reason the women are so fit and still walking up hills aged 88 is because being outside, eating non processed good foods and walking up hills are some of the best things any of us can do for ourselves.

it speaks ancient Kurdish language I understand them 80% incredibly far from original Kurdistan in Mezapotimian.😊😊

So beautiful and diverse culture MASHA'ALLAH 🇵🇰 Pakistan Zindabad ❤

Wow, for 88 years old woman to do shepherding is amazingly tough. May she lives well, happy and blessed all the rest of her life. ❤🙏

It’s refreshing to see how this community is so much more forward thinking and liberal compared to a lot of other parts of Pakistan.
