On June 14, in a devastating incident off the coast of Greece, a boat carrying over 700 migrants capsized and resulted in a significant loss of life, as only few dozens could survive. The individuals on board were hopeful migrants who had embarked on this perilous journey in search of a better life in Europe. The question arises: why did these migrants, especially Pakistanis, choose to leave their homeland in the first place? Additionally, political instability, social unrest, and security concerns also push individuals to leave their home country in search of safety and stability elsewhere. As long as economic disparities, political instability, and social challenges persist in certain regions, people will continue to seek opportunities elsewhere.
