Breaking Stereotypes: Additional AC Peshawar Reaches To Perform Her Duty With 5-months-old Baby
Women in consevervative, male-driven societies like Pakistan always suffer balatant stigmatisation with their contribution in the social structure. Regarded as ‘weak’ and treated as agency of men, women’s job usually is restricted to four walls of the house, while male figures engage themselves in jobs, financially providing for the family.

The gender roles have often restricted women, as it is generally perceived a woman cannot be a good mother and an indivisual with a career – which is not the truth. It is ironic in itself that why men aren’t asked the same question that how they will maintain balance between their job and grooming of children because men do not require to do so. But a woman does and she performs both roles with extraordinary excellence.

An unconventional and unique example was set forth by Pesha war Additional Assistant Commissioner Sarah Tawab, who can be seen on roads performing her duty carrying her 5 months old baby.
The pictures of Sarah went viral on social media yesterday and the internet community celebrated this hero, appreciating the example she is putting forth. Carrying her child in her hands, Sarah was visiting the shops and restaurants checking the quality of food.

”This picture is powerful. Images can convey a deep radical promise by preserving the moment when an everyday thing becomes a subversive challenge to settled notions. ‘A woman is weak because she has kids…’ And here is Assistant Commissioner Peshawar Sara Tawab working in a place, where patriarchy is enforced by the burden of culture and traditions, and wielding power while at the same time proving that women having kids is not a sign of weakness or a disability at all.” – wrote a Facebook page ‘Feminism Pakistan’ appreciating the woman and stereotypes she is breaking.

although it is somewhat admirable
does she really have to carry the baby around in public duties?
she could have gotten a day care service back at her office
ACs may have to face dangerous situations, and it may become un safe for the baby

Mothers are very strong.
Women can be ruthless and compassionate

My thoughts exactly.

She's making a statement. And hats off to her for that.

The kid seems to be enjoying the cold and the sights and sounds too.

Cheers, Doc

Well said. This is pure advertisement, meant to skew reality. By projecting a false image using privileged, upper society women, the real issues faced by millions of women get sidelined.

The real issues of women are the millions of female house helpers across Pakistan. They don't have the luxury to bring their children to work. And this image does nothing to solve their problems.

My kids have been in and out of their mom's clinic, since they were infants.

Women multitask. Men rarely can.

These were my first thoughts too.

However, what the lady is doing is commendable & a first step.

Thats true
But in our part of the world men think it is duty of lady only to look after children .
But times are changing.

I am surprised at some of the comments in this thread. May be because I have been living on this side of the world for too long. Here, a person with a job in public sector cannot mix work with their domestic duties. I am assuming she is not a volunteer but a paid public servant and is obviously undermining her duties for which the people of Pakistan are paying her for. She should really get some domestic help during the work hours and stay away from politics because that's not her domain.

baby will catch disease as he is only 5 months and low immunity this is ignorance and should end

Yes ,
Baby should not go along in bazars and factories which are in no way clean.

Disagree. Strongly.

Babies should be encouraged to play and explore and get dirty. And be around pets.

Cheers, Doc
