Description

The article argues that in Pakistan, outspoken and independent women are often seen as threatening because they challenge deeply rooted social norms. It highlights how women who raise their voices - historically and today, are labeled disruptive or silenced, even though they play a crucial role in societal progress. Ultimately, the piece frames this “fear” not as a flaw in women, but as a reflection of a society uncomfortable with female agency, emphasizing that gender equality is essential for collective growth.
