According to the magazine, “Siddiqa felt the effects of this lack of action viscerally last year as she witnessed from afar the life-altering impacts of Pakistan\u2019s floods, likely made more extreme by global warming. She channeled those feelings into poetry as a form of protest.”<\/p>\n

In an interview, Ayisha stated,<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an effort to preserve what I have left, while I still have the time, in written form. Art makes life worth living, and in my opinion, it\u2019s what makes humans worth the fight. Like all of the things that we leave behind, all the creations, wouldn\u2019t it be so unfortunate if there\u2019s nobody on the other side to witness and observe them?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\t\t

Ayisha Siddiqa grew up in a matriarchal, tribal community in eastern Pakistan, which has helped shape her perspective. \u201cThe wounded world is so beautiful because she keeps producing life,\u201d she told to the publication. \u201cAnd my work is in defense of life. By default, it’s defense of the rights of women. Therefore, it\u2019s also by default human rights.\u201d<\/p>\n

These values and realities are what motivate Ayisha Siddiqa to use her voice to uplift the vulnerable and hold polluters to account. \u201cI was raised with the idea that the earth is a living being, that she gives life to you, and in return, you have a responsibility,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd I think we, collectively, have come to a point where we are ignoring the cries of the mother earth.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
