Parveen shakir cause of death

For readers who want to help Shakira Parveen, the Pakistani woman in Tuesday’s column who was pimped by her husband, the best route would be to send money through Mukhtar Mai and her aid organization. Mukhtar can pass on assistance and in any case is looking after people like Shakira.

So the best bet is to send checks to Mukhtar via Mercy Corps, Dept. W, PO Box 2669, Portland, OR 97208-2669, or call 1-888-256-1900.
