Did you know? As per National Commission on the Status of Women, 40% of women in Pakistan have been victims of online abuse and cyberbullying. In our latest episode of #HashtagSeAagay, we discuss TFGBV (Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence) and its long-lasting effects.
Millions of views? Easy. Meaningful conversations? Not always. Shehzad Ghias shares a take on virality, attention and the stories people choose to believe. "People are not listening to facts, they're listening to narratives."

The attack took place after the suspect allegedly entered Dr Mahnoor Nasir's room and threw acid on her before fleeing.
