Colourism in Pakistan (ft. Kanwal Hassan)

 

Kanwal Hassan, a Pakistani artist based in Hong Kong, is a Shia Muslim who grew up in Swat. Growing up as a religious minority in Pakistan, Kanwal faced challenges on a daily basis - from discrimination at school, colourism, to receiving death threats.

She joins Proudly Asian to talk about her experience living in Hong Kong as an ethnic minority, and how she experienced more racism back home in Pakistan than in Hong Kong.
