A Thread.

Women causes.
2. Today I wake up to a different reality. Everything somehow relates to a political movement. Looks like a political party is speaking for political causes instead of Women Causes.
3. Here is an example.
Opposition to death penalty ? Women can be
2/11
Butchered. Raped. Abused and cut to pieces by sick men but those sick men should not be punished with punishments that speak loud and clear ? Is this “Stockholms’ Syndrome” ? Do we not want these sick bastards to stop ?
4. Defamation laws should be repealed ? WTH

We should demand absolute opposite. Women are being abused on Social Media by sick men. Sick trolls. Women are being defamed. Women are being harassed. If defamation laws are decriminalised then it would be like giving a license for men to abuse women online and defame them

Yes. Inflation should be controlled but what the heck does it have to do with

Privatisation and women’s issues ?
9. Lahore’s pollution is a cumulative disaster of 37 years of wrong environmental policies. Where do you link it to the women’s issues ? Your mandate is women’s issues not political point scoring.
Please please please. We all stand

With our women. We all support women’s rights. In every manner. DO NOT Turn this into a political circus.
Your demands are political and nothing to do with job equality. Property rights. Equal pay. Punishments etc etc.
You will lose all support. ALL.
