These persecuted people emigrate from Pakistan each year to escape discrimination, denial of equal development rights, violation of human rights and forced conversions. While in Pakistan, the girls felt unsafe, and all faced pressure to convert; one primary negative coping mechanism was to drop out of school. Most come from the Sindh province, where the Hindu population in Pakistan is concentrated. Primarily these migrants owned land and did farming in Pakistan.

month after month. The Government of India has administrative arrangements for Pakistani Hindus; they may obtain long-stay visas butare not considered refugees by the government.
