occasion of the Prophet Muhammad’s birthday, Muslims participate in a
religious procession; an Afghan refugee walks to work as a porter at a
wholesale vegetable market on the outskirts of Islamabad; Afghan
refugee boys play with balloons near their mud homes on the outskirts
of Islamabad; a bride and groom sit together during a mass Hindu
marriage ceremony in Karachi; Soniya, 6, whose family moved to
Islamabad from Pakistan’s Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province to look for
work, stands outside their house on the outskirts of Islamabad.
