یہ زخم اپنے دل کا تو سِل بھی سکتا تھا
تُو کن اگر جو کہتا وہ مل بھی سکتا تھا
پژمردہ سا یہ غنچہ ہم دل ہیں جس کو کہتے
گر ساتھ وہ جو چلتا تو کھل بھی سکتا تھا
Artificial insemination is a means of attaining pregnancy not involving sexual intercourse. A couple having trouble getting pregnant can benefit from the exact timing and placement of the sperm. It can overcome instances where a woman's immune system can reject her partner's sperm as invading molecules. In the case of an impotent male, donor sperm may be used. It is also a means for a woman to conceive when two women wish to parent a child, or a single woman does not have a male partner, when she does not want a male partner, or when a male partner's physical limitation impedes his ability to impregnate her by sexual intercourse.

The study exploring the role of parents of children with Special Education Needs (SEN) in Inclusive Education was carried out in a private mainstream school in Karachi, Pakistan, which includes children with SEN. This study was carried out through a qualitative research paradigm, by using semi-structured interviews and document analysis. The primary participants of the study were four parents of children with SEN studying in a mainstream school. The two class teachers and the principal of the school were also the research participants. The findings of the study suggest that most parents of SEN children play different roles at different times, such as the role of a teacher, an advocate, a researcher and a monitor, in order to ensure full participation of their children with SEN in mainstream schools.

Therefore, in most cases, the mothers play a dominant role. They mostly stay at home and consequently take the responsibilities of all their children. However, the decision of sending their children to a mainstream school is taken mainly by fathers, with little consultation from the mother's side. This study also shows that there are some facilitating factors supporting the parental decision of including their children in mainstream schools; for example, family support, and their socio-economic background, their participation in trainings and workshops held by psychologists and therapists, and also the special educators in the school, all these help the parents in understanding the problems of their children with SEN. However, parents also face many challenges which hinder their role in inclusion of their children with SEN in mainstream schools; for example, their socio economic background, recognition of the rights of their children with SEN as well as cultural barriers, such as attitudes of people influenced by their beliefs about
