Pakistan Safe for Women?
I am a 30-year-old woman from Pakistan. People know me as a journalist with feminist ideology and, of course, that makes me the target of a lot of hate and abuse. Whenever I write on women related issues, the common response I receive is doubt: “Who you are talking about?” critics ask, or “where does this happen?” Or they will accuse me of being a “Western agent” who just wants to bring a bad name to the Islamic Republic.The severity of comments increases on my write-ups about sexual abuse, harassment, and torture targeting women. I received rape and death threats for writing in support of the annual Aurat March, arranged by feminist organizations and women rights activists on international women’s day in Pakistan. The organizers of the march also received similar threats for organizing the march and supposedly damaging the culture of the country.Ironically, some of my colleagues are now receiving rape threats for their comments on the recent gang-rape case, for which the entire nation is demanding justice. A senior journalist, Sabin Agha, was invited on a TV show to talk about the rape case and ongoing conversation around it. When the clip was posted on Facebook, most of the comments contained abuse toward Agha. One user also issued a rape threat.
