Unfortunately I can't attend #March4Justiceau today however these are the reasons #WhyIMarch (if I could) and why I signed the petition at march4justice.nationbuilder.com/?recruiter_id=… 1/
Because of my year 7 maths teacher who once called me up to the front of the classroom to demonstrate something by saying "come on, I want your body" which made me so ashamed that I was too sick to go to school the next day #WhyIMarch 2/
Because of my friend's private school mates who borrowed his phone to send me text messages about the size of my breasts #WhyIMarch 3/
My heart is heavy this morning.
A long thread..TRIGGER
I became a dr, a brown one at that!Doesn’t that mean we have equality? Despite the fact at least a 1/5 of the work of GPs is fam violence related - there’s no fam violence Medicare rebate. GP’s are financially #MedTwitter

Penalised if they spend too long with a patient.
Medicare cards are linked with abusive hsbs so some women cannot access medical help.
GPs know that women need more than what can be offered in a consult- but the psychologist or psychiatrist books are full- & they charge gaps...

But these women, even the rich ones are under financial control & cannot pay!
So we sometimes try not to charge but then we have our own families to consider & once again female drs will wear the costs because the govt won’t.@RonniSalt @Lisa_Wilkinson @Drhutch2011

#WhyIMarch: ‘Let only the truth be the authority of your life; May you always be free.’ I will #March4Justiceau because I found the solution to justice: I switched from self-esteem (aka ‘survival of the fittest’) to self-compassion (aka ‘enlightenment’). 1/17 #Auspol
When I finished my psychology degree, I got the best mark across two university campuses. I was awarded a scholarship to undertake a PhD. I was teaching psychology at the university and my best friend was science. My PhD was on the neuroscience of emotion. 2/17
My research question was: Where is emotion in the brain? Well it turned out that emotion is not just in the brain. News flash: This is a living cosmos! Like it or not; we are all connected. Like star dust.🌟I challenged outdated theories; I even noted science’s reductionism. 3/17
We have all been told that Feminism/#AuratAzadiMarch is unnecessary, because equality has already been achieved.
This is #WhyWeMarch.

This idea feeds into the common stereotype of feminists as angry, man-hating witches, who must be overreacting since there is no real problem to solve. But gender inequality exists everywhere in the world. And it is particularly severe in Pakistan.
According to the Human Rights Watch (HRW), between 70-90% of Pakistani women are estimated to experience domestic violence in their lifetimes, and 80% of this abuse comes at the hands of their own husbands.

1- I went to see my nephew last week & the delight he drew to my heart was far more profound than the pain his mother, my sister, & all of us went through 2 years ago. “A divorced sister & daughter are better than dead ones”, hits me hard every day & I cannot thank

2- Allah enough for where my sister is today
A few years ago, my parents married my teenage sister off in the family they thought would take good care of her that was nothing but their mere wishful thinking. The nightmare followed her lavish wedding, we spent every saved penny

3- On her jaheez just to appease her in-law's because in my parents' perception that would bribe her a bit of luck which wasn’t the case.
After she stepped in that house, we told her would be hers from now onwards, but nothing welcomed her there.

کافی دنوں سے دیکھ رہی ہوں لفظوں کی ایک جنگ سے دلوں اور دماغوں پر عجیب قسم کی اگ برسائی جارہی ہے۔ عورت کے حقوق اور اس پر بحث مذاق کے ساتھ ساتھ گالم گلوچ کا ایک موضوع بن گئی ہے جس پر ایسے بہت سے لوگ جن سے ویران گلیوں سے گزرنے والے عورت محفوظ نہیں یہاں اکر محظوظ ہو رہے ہیں

جنکی سر عام ہراسمنٹ سے بدنامی ہو سکتی ہے یہاں عورت مارچ والیوں کو گندی گندی گالیاں دیکر اپنی فرسٹریشن نکال رہے ہیں۔ کچھ فیمینسٹ کے ٹویٹ پر کچھ کہنا چاہا تو باقی لوگوں کے جوابات اور ایسی گندی گالیاں ۔۔۔۔ خاموش ہی رہنا پڑا کہ کوئی یہ نہ سمجھے کہ مجھے یہ ٹویٹ نظر آئی تھی۔
دل ہی دل میں ان فیمنسٹ کو سلام پیش کیا جو ایسے معاشرے میں بول رہی ہیں جہاں دلیل کی بجائے ذلیل کرنے کو ترجیح دی جاتی ہے اور جن الفاظ کا استعمال کیا جاتا ہے کوئی مسلمان اس وقت یہ نہیں سوچتا کہ ان ہاتھوں سے لکھی تحریر کا بھی حساب دیا جائے گا آپ کے گھر والے یہ جانتے ہوں یا نہیں
I've been hearing the debate on #MeraJismMeriMarzi and #AuratMarch2020 but while everyone has jumped on the bandwagon to criticize the march, let me remind you of some harsh facts that you forgot to lash out about.
I personally searched and read details of every case of violence against women and children reported since the start of this year.
After hours of going through the traumatic accounts, I compiled all the cases and their details and I decided to share them with everyone.

Please remember, these are only the cases that were reported and made it to the news.
The number of unreported cases is way higher than what we believe.

Our last post for our #DoosreAsnaafKiTareekh is the the Ordinance of Zina from the Hudood Ordinance: 
Enacted in 1979 under General Zia’s Islamisation process, the Hudood ordinances were a series of laws that replaced British-era laws in the Pakistan Penal Code. One of the ordinances was the ‘Offence of Zina’ which refers to fornication, adultery and rape.
Under the ordinance, several punishments were highlighted for the offenses, starting from the most severe or hadd such as public whipping of 100 lashes, and stoning to death of the adulterer, to lesser severe ones or tazir such as imprisonment up to ten years.

All my life, I have used public buses in Karachi and many a times touched inappropriately while coming to home from college. What did I do? Get myself covered in a bigger chadar. Took a scarf. Took my brother with me to the bus stops. Wore lose clothes.

The harassment didn't stop. I thought guilty of myself. I felt bad about my body. When I first started working, I was a young enthusiastic student full of hopes and dreams for a better future. I wanted to work to gain financial independence.
I was an innocent, naive person with ideas in my head like I will stop working when I get married (Because the society taught me so). My first experience of harassment came at my first workplace. He was the most sweetest boy of office. Innocent-looking, full sunnat bearded man.
