Reacting to the recent tragic shooting many in the Pakistani community have pointed to a gap between generations as young people struggle to combine a western atmosphere they experience outside the home with the traditional ways in which their parents live, leading too easily to isolation.
A speaker at a recent Burngreave Community Action Forum meeting stressed that this is a problem for all of our community and we must not leave one community to deal with difficult issues in isolation. If at least some good is to come from this tragic incident, and we are to avoid this happening again, we must make sure that our young people, young women as well as young men, are provided with the trust and support they need to take their place in the adult world.
