Enforced disappearances · Torture · Landmines · Pashtun rights
My Safe Voice documents the disappeared, the detained, the tortured and the maimed across the Pashtun belt, and puts their cases on the record, with sources, where the world can see them.
What we do
When families are told there is no proof, no file and no case, a documented, sourced record becomes an act of protection. We build that record, and teach people how to use it.
Every case on The Wall is sourced to published reporting, court records or a direct family account, with dates and citations.
Plain-language Know Your Rights guides on habeas corpus, FIRs, custody and compensation, for families with no lawyer.
We connect families to lawyers, human-rights organisations and helplines, and help them understand what to do in the first 24 hours.
We turn scattered cases into patterns, and report them to the bodies that are supposed to count: the UN, the courts and the press.

Know your rights
Our plain-language guides explain the first steps, the paperwork and the courts, in English, Urdu and Pashto concepts, so families can act instead of waiting.
Enforced disappearance is not a gap in the law. It is a choice, made again and again, by people who count on no one keeping score. This project keeps score.Taseer Ahmad, Founder, My Safe Voice
