1. “cutting the nose to spite the face”
2. “Naak Katwana”, Urdu and Hindi
3. “Bini mara Boridi” Persian
4. “Poza de Prekra” in Pashto.
All point to the act of cutting one’s nose to bring shame.
Why would women write such a poster? Is it a protest to systematic oppression with roots in history or something else? Please answer.
