KARACHI: Life is hard if you’re a woman in Pakistan but it’s even more hard if you’re a woman AND a journalist. In case you’re planning to pursue this career, be mindful that tharkis and misogynists will close in on you much more than you’d like. Using real life examples that we’ve witnessed ourselves, or have seen our colleagues go through, here are a few things to look out for if you’re a budding journalist.
Because you’re an opinionated woman, and any woman with an opinion has to be a man-hating feminazi.
Dirty texts, asking for sexual favours, sexually harassing you in public, you name it.
Doesn’t matter if you’re the editor of a publication, there will be some man around who’ll claim to know your work better than you
As a journalist, you’ll probably be going to spend a lot of time on the streets and catching rickshaws to get to press conferences and protests. You’ll always have to stress over what to wear and what’s appropriate for what occasion.
That’s true for male journalists as well, but women get abused a tad bit more
How does she do it and can we pull it off?
Join us in celebrating these incredible women who are crushing it in life and we're crushing…
Yea, we’re trying to make a point. WILL YOU GET IT?
