Re Ali Zafar's latest reward from the Government, let's be clear: this isnt even about whether Ali Zafar is innocent or guilty at this stage. It is a clear signal from the Prime Minister of the country that the issue of sexual harassment should not be taken seriously.
What is equally concerning is that this is the position being taken by the leader of this country at a time when rapists are attacking women on motorways and in their homes. At a time when hardly any woman is safe anywhere in this country.
Problematic even more so because it wasnt just one woman who came forward. As it is, victims of harassment are rarely heard, let alone believed. What you're effectively telling women in this country is: it doesnt matter what has been done to you - what trauma has been
Have compiled a list of Pakistan's misogynist men in politics for ease of reference: 1. Nawaz Sharif (who told women at his rally that they were 'honourable' women, unlike those women who attended PTI rallies; who harassed a foreign female journalist; and who engaged in character
assassination of Shaheed Benazir Bhutto). 2. Shehbaz Sharif (who thought it was important for his party to take credit for the construction of the Motorway while discussing the gang-rape of a woman on that Motorway). 3. Imran Khan (who refused to support Aurat March; who
continues to support policing of women; and who deemed it appropriate to judge who a "good/real mother" is during a TV interview). 4. Asif Ali Zardari (who made a foreign dignatory feel uncomfortable by repeatedly commenting on her appearance & saying he would hug her after the
٢٠١٨ میں ہر روز ١٠ بچوں کو جنسی زیاتی اور تشدد کا نشانہ بنایا گیا تھا. یہ غلیظ ذہنیت جو بچوں کو بھی نہیں چھوڑتی کسی کو پھانسی دینے سے یا قانون سازی سے نہیں ختم ہوگی. زینب, زین.. ہم کتنے معصوم بچوں کے لئے سوشل میڈیا پر آواز بلند کرینگے. ہمارے ہی معاشرے میں یہ بدکاری ہے. اس کو ختم
کرنے کے لئے:
١. ہمیں اپنے بچوں کے ساتھ کھل کر وہ باتیں کرنی ہونگی جو ان کی ذہنی اور جسمانی حفاظت کے لئے ضروری ہے; ٢. ریاست کو فوری طور پر قانون نافذ کرنے والے اداروں کی ٹریننگ میں تبدیلیاں لانی ہونگی, خاص کر وقتی تحقیقات اور حساسیت ے معاملہ مد نظر رکھتے ہوے; ٣. بحیثیت ایک شہری
ہر شخص کی ذمہ داری ہے کہ وہ ایسے واقعات کو رپورٹ کریں اور اگر ہمارے ارد گرد ایسے کوئی واقعات سامنے ہو تو ہماری مداخلت لازمی ہے; ٤. ہمارے سکولوں اور گھروں میں بچوں کو باقاعدہ سمجھایا جائے کہ چاہے کوئی رشتےدار ہو یا کوئی اجنبی اگر وہ کسی بھی صورت حال میں مضطرب ہو, تو اس کا اظہار
Since its the weekend (I have time!) & the teacher in me wants to educate you:
1. She didnt seek permission from her family. It wasnt a family decision. It was HER individual decision. Everyone is free to choose how to live their lives. Family hai; jirga nahi.
2. Please read this document called THE CONSTITUTION. Article 51(1) of the Constitution provides for reserved seats for non-Muslims & women. Article 51(3) will enlighten you on how many seats are reserved. Requires you to do a little reading though. Clearly, you're not a fan...
3. While there are arguments that can be made ag/ reserved seats, the argument you're trying to make is flawed. In the 2018 GEs, over 45% of political parties didnt field a female candidate for direct election. Where women were given tickets was in constituencies where the
1. CDA doesnt backdate notices. Pl see attached backdated notices issued by CDA last year to cover up for a demolition operation carried out in violation of S. 49C of the CDA Ordinance. In their rush to issue backdated notices, they forgot my
client's name and issued a backdated notice with the wrong name 😂 they ended up paying Rs. 5 lakh in compensation to my client (they still owe him the full amount of compensation). So please dont tell me you've "spoken" to the CDA. They lie like we breathe.
But still, I'll give them another chance to be honest. Did the Air Chief verbally make any such request to the CDA? Is there any such request in writing?
