After a recent assault case that took place on Independence Day, female celebrities are concerned over the safety of women in Pakistan. Dignitaries, politicians, public figures and celebrities all took to social media to voice their grave concern over lack of protection of women in the country after a series of incidents have occurred. Mehwish Hayat tweeted how she felt shocked and speechless after hearing this news. “Yet again, I’m left shocked and speechless. Any decent society should have dignity, security and respect for women. Seems this doesn’t apply to us. Now a woman just being in a place is provocation enough for her to be groped. I sincerely fear for every daughter of Pakistan. God save us!” Ushna Shah wrote, “There is nothing I can say that hasn’t been said already. I am afraid… for myself, for all of us. What else has to happen for every single person to accept the fact that women are not safe in Pakistan.” Maya Ali wasn’t able to believe what she saw in the video. “I can’t believe what I’ve just watched. I feel sick to my stomach and I feel ashamed to call them human. It happened in broad daylight whilst the azaan sounded in the background.”
