Ofcourse, harassment of any sort is wrong, regardless of where it occurs! If an
innocent woman is minding her own business and unnecessarily gets harassed then there is no justification for it.
I think almost any part of the world you go to, you will hear women complain about harassment. This is not unique to pakisanis. Even in a 'perfect' democracy as england, women complain about harassment and as being seen as just 'sex objects'. In england the weather was really good in the past couple of weeks (which was a total surprise, as its always cloudy and raining here! lol). Whereever u went you would see majority of women dressed barely even in shorts - and thats on normal streets not beaches!! Rightly or wrongly, some people would find this ironic that how can women claim about being seen as sex objects when they dress so provocatively!! Basically, the issues of women being mistreated and harassed etc is a global issue which everyone needs to work hard to try and change.
However, like many people, I am also, confused as to the purpose of ths thread and in particular why it has singled out Karachi/pakistan! More importatnly, I dont understand what exactly it is trying to achieve. It seems to me, these types of threads are usually started by the same small group of 'liberals' (not going to name anyone before you ask! :p) on this site, who almost always portray pakistan in a negative manner.
Pakistan has come a long long way especially considerng it is a third world country, with many people still living in poverty and are still uneducated. I dont see them highlighting any of this. Ofcourse there is always room for improvement and there is always going to be issues that will need resolving - thats life!
All i know is that pakistan is totally different to what it was about ten years or so ago. You only need to go to the major citites to see how 'liberal'/westernised we have become alreadly. I think these so called liberals are still not happy because they want pakistan to change until it becomes exactly like the western countries (i.e. lose our culture, identity and become 'modern' by adopting the western cultures, and copyng their dress sense, their music style etc etc!!). Most people are scared to mention anything against this because instantly you get accused of being a 'mullah' or taliban sympathiser etc!! The simple fact is we have a totally different culture and principles (in terms of religion) as compared to the west. We are happy with our culutre and our way of life. Ofcourse, there are improvements to be made which we will always strive to work on! So, they can continue trying to push their agendas all they want!!
Because, hopefully, they will never make pakistan into a 'liberal' state insha allah!
p.s. Sorry if i have offended anyone as that was no my intention!
