Harassment takes place both in real life and in the virtual sphere. It is one of the most common forms of #GenderBasedViolence . #16DaysOfActivism #Pakistan #NoExcuse #GilgitBaltistan

Between terrorism on the KKH and the absolute farce that is the PIA, people of Gilgit-Baltistan are stuck in a frustrating limbo. Travel for work, education or health has become a herculean quest.

We must invest in measures to end #ViolenceAgainstWomen . Gilgit-Baltistan needs a Darul Aman/shelter for vulnerable women. #16DaysOfActivism #NoExcuse #GenderBasedViolence

"I do not wish them (women) to have power over men, but over themselves." - Mary Wollstonecraft #16DaysOfActivism #NoExcuse #GenderBasedViolence

Low conviction rates and lack of implementation of punishment, even when guilt is established as in recent high profile cases, send the message that there is virtual impunity for violence against women in our society. #GenderBasedViolence #16DaysOfActivism #NoExcuse #Pakistan

"Compromise" and "maafi" are the insult added to injury in cases of honor killing. Many murderers roam free among us due to this loophole that has almost become an inevitable conclusion in our courts. #16DaysOfActivism #NoExcuse #GenderBasedViolence

Both men and women must be taught equality and respect for all human beings. #16DaysOfActivism #GenderBasedViolence #NoExcuse #Pakistan

Today is the final day of #16DaysOfActivism against #GenderBasedViolence . It is a time to renew our pledges to fight against this evil. Let us join hands against it in the name of women's rights and men's dignity.

Gilgit-Baltistan needs a Darul Aman for women and a shelter for the homeless. Is anybody on the government level even thinking about these needs?

"But the dream of something unlikely has its own special name. We call it hope." Jostein Gaarder, The Orange Girl
