Challenging the Normalisation of Harassment: Awareness Session at Ilma University
“Ghar se nikli ho to yeh to hoga na. Nahi bardasht hota to ghar baitho.” These words echo a mindset that many women are expected to silently accept, turning everyday harassment into a 'normal' consequence of simply stepping outside. This harsh reality was openly discussed during the awareness session led by Ms. Sabika Shah, Regional Head Sindh, in collaboration with Ilma University, where lived experiences highlighted how deeply ingrained and normaliSed harassment remains in our routines. Conversations like these matter. Awareness challenges silence, and dialogue is the first step toward accountability, dignity, and safer spaces for all.
