The World Sindhi Congress (WSC) is a UK/USA based human rights advocacy organizations Sindhis. Its main objective is to create a better understanding among the international community about the disadvantaged status of Sindhis in Pakistan and about Sindhi peoples struggles for their human rights, including the right to self-determination. WSC is a registered company in England and Wales, and Kentucky, USA, organized to carry out non-profit activities only.
Every year WSC organizes an international conference  during its Annual General Body Meeting. Current political situations in Pakistan are very alarming. The country is under de-facto martial law, and fundamental rights of peoples are being denied. Military has legitimatised its illegal rule through a sham Presidential Referendum and through the manipulation of the constitution. Currently, USA and other European countries see Pakistan as their ally in “War Against Terrorism”. Pakistani establishment cunningly uses this
newfound legitimacy and resources into strengthening its authoritarian rule, hegemony of Punjab, and subjugation of its oppressed peoples — especially Sindhi and Baloch nations.
National rights movements for Oppressed nations i.e. Sindhi, Baloch, Pakhtoon, and Seraiki are as old as Pakistan itself. These nations joined Pakistan on the basis of 1940 Pakistan Resolution, which guaranteed the sovereignty to its constituent units. More than five
decades have passed and these nations still strive for their autonomy.
Most of these movements are being carried out in peaceful manner despite the frequent aggression of State agencies on these activists. For example in Sindh since last two years a collective and peaceful campaigns in forms of hunger strikes, long marches and peaceful
protests against the unfair policies of water distribution, the under-representation of Sindhis in government jobs, and plundering of resources of Sindh. All sectors of Sindhi population are demanding economic and political sovereignty of Sindh.
What are the challenges involved in these struggle for national rights? What role does the international community has to play in these oppressed peoples struggle for peace, justice and liberty? In general, this conference will provide a forum to discuss challenges involved in achieving cultural, economic and political sovereignty of the nations oppressed under the current political boundaries of Pakistan.
We request your participation in the upcoming conference and invite you to present a speech or paper relevant to this year ‘s theme. For more information on World Sindhi Congress, please visit our web site at
