Women’s Action Forum Lahore condemns, in the strongest terms possible and demands stern action against Member Punjab Assembly, Sheikh Allauddin of the Unification Block for using abusive and filthy language for women members of the house on 20th June 2012. It also condemns those members who supported this behaviour through desk thumping.
Sheikh Allaudin, who is himself a ‘floor crosser’, has a history of using derogatory language against women including vulgar and filthy gestures.
The women MPAs are walking out of Punjab assembly tomorrow (Friday 22 June 2012) morning at 10:30. Please join them to show your support. A culture where violence against women has become so systemic won't change if we are silent or apathetic.
Keep up the good work Nabiha:) People like you are what makes Pakistanis more human to the rest of the world. I have been enjoying reading your previous articles and I hope you become more frequent with them, because they really do make a difference to the English speaking Pakistani youth who also happen to have internet access. Keep it up!
This and many other blogs from other Pakistanis might inspire me to make a blog myself about my personal opinions being a Pakistani-American.
PS, is it okay if I add you to my twitter?

Thank you. Not sure what you mean by “add you to my twitter” since there is no add option on twitter but you are welcome to follow me on twitter. I don’t have my tweets protected and they are open to the public.
