There isn't enough rage over the slaughter of children in Palestine. But there isn't enough rage over Sudanese children or Yemeni children. There is a global hierarchy and, there isn't enough rage about children. In Pakistani society, we aren't even close to thinking about children as children. They are stratified, classified according to poor, caste, ethnicity gendered and are invisible. How many are embarrassed at how many children beg on streets or are out of school? Or just seen as property of parents, religion and state to embody everything as dictated. We have a long way to go.
