@UNDP_Pakistan is there any recent work on multidimensional poverty in Pakistan given that latest rounds of PSLM/HIES have been released by PBS?

[Aurat Azadi March Islamabad @AuratAzadiMarch]

You ask why we March? Ask yourselves today why shouldn’t we?
Today ask yourselves what is being done to women in this society? Is this the country you call safe for women? Is this the culture WE were ruining? 400 men harassing one girl. Is this the culture you want to protect?

[Rimmel Mohydin @Rimmel_Mohydin]

Women. Not talking points. Not grant applications. Not fundraising opportunities. Not political point scoring. Not liberal guilt fodder. Not side projects. Not image refurbishers. Living, breathing, women.

She fought once and now she has to fight more and then some more. “Isolated Incident” happened twice to the same woman haina Alvi Sb?
“Khadija Siddiqui unharmed after 'unidentified assailants open fire' at her car in Lahore” https://t.co/fCIRZf572I

[Tooba Syed @Tooba_Sd]

For anyone who thinks Pakistan is safe for women should look at this hashtag which has been going on to cover up for a man who victim-blamed a woman for her own murder. Shameful absolutely shameful! #خونی_لبرلز_بےلگام

Kids who celebrated their houses with flags on independence day grew up into women who feel suffocated in this country.

[Zoya Rehman @pind_wave]

from fast girls to active ladies -- we've been PROMOTED.

[Kanwal Ahmed @kanwalful]

Sadaf Kanwal just validated every man who would ever want to say: “jab aik model apnay miyan ke jootay utha sakti bai toh tu kaun hoti hai.”
All this while fully benefiting from “my body, my choice,” in her career and life.

Even good men require tons of reducational labour. I am tired.

Vigil and Protest in New York #JusticeForNoor

[Aimun @bluemagicboxes]

Movements demanding empowerment of a vulnerable group cannot survive alone.

The struggle of women is the struggle of students is the struggle of religious minorities is the struggle of the Pashtun and Baloch is the struggle of Ahmedis is the struggle of the working class.

[NeelgoonS @NeelgoonS]

Was thinking the same thing at the vigil today

[s | free 🇵🇸 @ranaslander]

At the protest today, I couldn't help but look around at the men with their faces behind masks, thinking there might be a predator among them and we don't even know. It made me feel sick to my stomach, that even around allies, I can't ever feel safe again.

[Aurat Azadi March Islamabad @AuratAzadiMarch]

.@wdf_pk & Aurat Azadi March organized a protest on Sunday at Islamabad Press Club to mourn and condemn the brutal murders of Noor Mukadam, Qurat ul Ain Buledi and Bushra Ali, and also extend condolences and solidarity to the families and friends of the deceased.

[꩜ ˙𖦹 ⋆꙳ @nauseahassan]

None of us are okay, nothing has been the same after hearing about Noor. I'm more than okay with removing every man in my life, I'm alright with being 10x more aggressive at sexist family gatherings - never had anything to lose but this has done something irreversible to me

[Aim*n @Mimiification]

Yaar I'm tired. I'm tired of arguing w my dad about female witnesses (2 for 1 man) @ my nikkah. Of arguing w my friends about the compromises they expect from their female partners. Of explaining why Qandeel was a feminist icon, why Noor was allowed to have a boyfriend. Exhausted

[Zoya Rehman @pind_wave]

the problem with the national discourse on gender-based violence is that we only take the stories of "good-enough victims" -- that is, women who are now dead as a result of the violence/abuse they experienced -- seriously.
