Gendered response to policing in Pakistan - My OpEd: https://t.co/OxMR0CiEGu

GoP must notify on 'next steps' after a patient has been diagnosed with COVID-19. It's contradictory if you ask ppl to self-isolate, and then forcefully drag them off to quarantine centres. No concrete plan or cohesive national strategy for families.

Disease affects different people differently. I shudder to think how Corona will impact different income groups in Pakistan.

[Anum Pasha @crazyyycatladyy]

Women cannot speak up without fear of retaliation as all forms of violence including domestic violence and sexual harassment are seen as taboo topics; as a result, justice is denied completely to the silent sufferers.

[Anum Pasha @crazyyycatladyy]

Taking action against violence takes courage but it is the first step towards challenging the prevailing mindset and ending culture of silence. In PK women are coerced to stay quiet and unable to narrate their ordeals which deprives them from accessing support services.

[Anum Pasha @crazyyycatladyy]

Pakistan is a predominantly male-dominated society where violence is culturally acceptable and victims’ own belief system prevents them from recognizing certain forms of violence. Thus, women who experience violence often do not seek justice and continue to suffer in silence.

[Anum Pasha @crazyyycatladyy]

In Pakistan, Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) is widespread, normalized and legitimized as a consequence of pervasive gender inequality and deep-rooted patriarchy.Gender-Based Violence (GBV) is significant in Pakistan and pervades every class, ethnicity, religion.

@khubaib_k You're not entitled to tell me to walk out of Twitter. Khalil Ur Rehman speaks the language of every misogynist, not the Quran. Quran teaches respect and only RESPECT for women, which clearly Khalil and people like you are in denial of.

[Anum Pasha @crazyyycatladyy]

To all news channels - please STOP giving talk time to the abuser Khalil ur Rehman Qamar in a quest to increase your ratings. Message to the talk show host - you should have walked out of your own show. #khalilurrehmanqamar #marvi #AuratMarch2020

My take on how @UN_Women supports Pakistani Women survivors of GBV: https://t.co/rWjlXoMcLK #GBV #unwomen

[Anum Pasha @crazyyycatladyy]

Now is the time for producers and the television / film industry to get out of their comfort zone and head-on speak up NOW against #KhalilurRehman's misconduct and public abuse!

[Anum Pasha @crazyyycatladyy]

While harasser/abuser Khalilur Rehman's conduct was unacceptable and calls for a ban, the talk show host is equally responsible for perpetuating this on her show. This represents a classic case of patriarchy - she was asking Marvi to stay quiet but did not stop Khalil.

Here is my take on @UN_Women UN Women's "Jahez Khori campaign", the agency's head-on tackling of #dowry in #Pakistan @UN @UNHumanRights

[Anum Pasha @crazyyycatladyy]

Super tired of paid political content, especially PTI's fake promises.

[Anum Pasha @crazyyycatladyy]

Reham Khan's book release. Solemn media photo stunts of Nawaz and Maryam Sharif. What's next before July 25? Interesting times for Pakistan!

[Anum Pasha @crazyyycatladyy]

@skyatlantic @Jemima_Khan Hi when will this be released?
