Punjab comes up with ‘out-of-the-box’ solution for harassment against women - ban TikTokers from parks

Over last couple of weeks, the city of Lahore has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. #dailyscooptv #tiktoker #women #minarepakistan #ayeshaakram #rape
There was the incident of a woman being harassed near Minar-e-Pakistan.

Then there was another video that went viral on social media, which showed a man forcibly kissing a woman in a moving rickshaw.
On Monday 23rd Aug, Chung police station reported another rape incident of a 35-year-old woman along with her teenage daughter. The FIR has been registered against the culprits under section 376 punishment of rape, of the Pakistan penal code.
While the incidents have garnered alot of attention on social media, with citizens calling for the arrests of the perpetrators, the authorities are still relying on optics to assuage public anger.
In the first case for example, authorities claim to have arrested 130 suspects out of the approximately 400 she claimed had attacked her. However, one of the suspects, Shehroz Saeed, whom the victim identified herself, has already managed to secure bail from court.
In the second case, police have yet to make any headway into the investigation.

But now, the Punjab Parks and Horticultural Authority (PHA) has come up with a foolproof solution to address the issue of harassment in parks. They have banned the entry of TikTokers in public parks
Further, the PHA is also considering a ban on the entrance of more than two men in the public parks.
