Actor and model Hamza Ali Abbasi has raised his voice for women’s rights, insisting that it should be illegal to harass women.

Recently, he was invited as a guest in ‘Meri Saheli’ show on Samaa TV, the actor participated via video and highlighted the importance of working women for families.

He said, “I see myself as a proud human because the women in my life—my mother, sister, and wife—work freely and have their own identities and personalities. Empowered working women not only support their families but also bring peace of mind to men.”
While talking about harassment in offices, he said, “In today’s era, empowered women are also financially supporting their entire families. But the reality is that they also face harassment in the workplace, not only in Pakistan but worldwide. Like men, women in Pakistan are also facing the challenge of lower salaries compared to men.”
Hamza Ali Abbasi said, “To create a conducive environment for women in our society, we (men) have to play a key role. Whether it’s in the workplace or elsewhere, where women’s rights are being violated, don’t accept such behavior, and raise your voice against it.”

The actor believes that harassing women should be illegal in order to deter future instances of this kind of behaviour.

In addition, he stressed that males ought to respect women, work together, see to it that they are safe, understand Islamic principles, and educate themselves on Hazrat Khadijah (RA)
