Pakistani supermodel Amna Babar shared her experience of being harassed in a public sphere. She shared her story on Instagram.
The model was on her way to pick her mother when a couple of boys started swearing and making obscene faces at her.
“I am very disturbed and upset after what just took place I truly wonder what kind of society we live in? I was driving home after running some errands to pick up my mom and these boys started making obscene faces started swearing at me and kept calling me names. I was alone and got scared as no one tried to help me and went to pick up my mother and took her to the mall,” Amna Babar wrote.
Then this did not end here, instead she said that “There I saw them again I took pictures of them and one of them showed me the middle finger and called me a badmash. My mother also got upset and took off one of her shoes. These boys were then told by other people to run away,” she continued.
Amna then questioned, “Why men feel the need to threaten women and girls. Will this ever stop? Why do people just stand and watch why is this acceptable?”
But, Amna is not the first woman from the entertainment industry to be harassed. Armeena Khan shared her experience of being groped in a public place despite the fact that she was wearing a burqa.
