Shahbaz Gill misquotes Forbes article, says Pak safe for women instead of women travelers
Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Political Communication Shahbaz Gill recently appeared in Meher Bokhari’s show, in which he defended the Single National Curriculum, the government’s controversial initiative to have one syllabus across Pakistan. To defend his argument, Gill said that the internationally reputable magazine, Forbes listed 20 most dangerous places for women and Pakistan’s name is not on the list. He even went on to mention the names of all the 20 countries. Gill also criticised Pakistan’s media and accused Pakistan’s media of being “dishonest.”
However, the article that Gill shared was about women traveling to countries and not on the safety of women living in the country. The article analyses countries that are unsafe for single women travelers, adding that the list, “ranked 50 countries with the most international tourists.”
Pakistan does not make the list because it is not in the list of the countries with the most international tourists.
According to a report published in Reuters in 2018 Pakistan was listed as sixth in the world’s 10 most dangerous countries for women.
“Sixth most dangerous and fourth worst in terms of economic resources and discrimination as well as the risks women face from cultural, religious and traditional practices, including so-called honor killings. Pakistan ranked fifth on non-sexual violence, including domestic abuse.”
Four years later the situation is even more dire as the latest The Global Gender Gap Report 2021 by World Economic Forum lists Pakistan at 153 out of 156, above Iraq, Yemen and Afghanistan in the The Gender Gap Index 2021. It ranks Pakistan has second worst in gender disparity in South Asia after Afghanistan.
The report also lists Pakistan at 152 out of 156 in the list of the countries based on Economic Participation and Opportunity, and at number 153 out of 156 on the basis of Health and Survival.

Curtain divides male and female students as Afghan universities reopen
Afghan students have started returning to university for the first time since the Taliban’s takeover and in some cases, female students have been divided from their male classmates by curtains or boards down the middle of the classroom.
According to Reuters, teachers and students at universities in Afghanistan’s largest cities including Kabul, Kandahar, and Herat stated that female students were being segregated in class, taught separately, or restricted to certain parts of the campus.
While on a call with Reuters, Anjila, a 21-year-old student at Kabul University said, “Putting up curtains is not acceptable. I really felt terrible when I entered the class. We are gradually going back to 20 years ago.”
“Female students sat separately from males. But classrooms were not physically divided”, she added.
A document outlining guidelines for resuming class has been circulating which lists measures such as the mandatory wearing of hijabs and separate entrances for female students. However, it was unclear if the document represented official Taliban policy.
A senior Taliban official told the agency that classroom dividers were “completely acceptable”, and that given Afghanistan’s “limited resources and manpower” it was best to “have the same teacher teaching both sides of a class”.
The photographs were shared by Avicenna University in Kabul and widely circulated on social media, prompting people to ask if women would be given their rights to education and work under Islam.
When the Taliban last ruled from 1996-2001, the group banned girls from school and women from university and work.

The Current Editorial: Stop moral policing
One of the favourite pastimes in Pakistan seems to be moral policing. We really don’t believe in the principle of ‘live and let live’. No, we have to interfere in others’ lives, we have to comment on others’ life choices, we have to judge everyone around us and we have to somehow make life difficult for others.
We hope that our officials would stop moral policing and let people express themselves however they want. There is already so much intolerance around us. Do not make this society more suffocating than it already is.

How many people were evacuated from Afghanistan so far?
I came across this Infographic by Al Jazeera which explains how many people have been evacuated from Afghanistan a week after the Taliban took over.
Check it out here. Stats According to official statements and local reports, at least 28,000 people have been evacuated so far.
The US, which has stationed thousands of troops to secure the airport, has set a deadline to complete the evacuations by August 31. But there are up to 15,000 Americans and 50,000- 60,000 Afghan allies who need to be evacuated, according to the Biden administration. Other updates The 57-member Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) pledged on Sunday to help achieve peace in Afghanistan.
The organisation urged “the future Afghan leadership” and the international community to work together to ensure that Afghanistan is never used again as a platform or safe haven for “terrorists”.

The Women’s Action Forum (WAF) condemned the attack on a woman in Minar-e-Pakistan by 400 men on 14 August. Their statement shed light on the irresponsible reporting of the incident by the local media. “Interviews given by the survivor on digital media have clearly shown how trauma is also being used to create sensationalism and it is important to remember that clips of her being mass groped may continue to haunt her in years to come.”
Ayesha, the survivor’s statement She said in the FIR that she and six other members of her YouTube channel visited Azadi Chowk to record a video clip of the Independence Day celebrations.
She said, “We were shooting a clip when a good number of youngsters started teasing me. They were joined by more and more. Seeing the suspects harassing me, the security guard of the Minar-e-Pakistan Park opened the central gate to let her enter to take shelter. When I crossed the gate and entered the park, the suspects came after me. They tore my clothes and molested me. They dragged and tossed me up in the air for fun. They also beat my team members, and used abusive language.” She added that the harassment continued for almost three hours before some (of them) people finally managed to rescue her.” Recent developmentsAccording to Dawn, the footage is being collected from CCTV cameras and TikTok clips. At least 10 suspects have been identified.

Biden says New York Governor Cuomo should resign over sexual harassment report
American President Joe Biden has called on New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to resign after a report by the New York state attorney general’s office found that he had sexually harassed 11 women, reports The Guardian.
After the publishing of the official report, the president told reporters that the governor should resign. “I understand that the state legislature may decide to impeach. I don’t know that for a fact. I’ve not read all that data.” he added.
The New York Attorney General Letitia James revealed that the reports showed Cuomo engaged in unwanted groping, kissing, and hugging and made inappropriate comments to multiple women.
According to news network CNN, the third-term Democratic governor has denied touching anyone inappropriately and vowed to continue as governor.
“I do kiss people on the forehead, I do kiss people on the cheek,” he said, in a video response. He also showed a couple of photos of him kissing and hugging both men and women and said his behavior was “unremarkable” for a politician.
Investigators spoke to 179 people including members of his executive staff and reviewed more than 74,000 pieces of evidence including emails, texts, audio files, and pictures.
The first allegations were made earlier this year in February when two former aides accused the governor of sexually harassing them. Later, several other women came forward with their own accounts of misconduct.
Once a rising star in the Democratic Party, the 63-year-old can now can face possible criminal prosecution.
Cuomo has been serving as the governor of NY state since 2011 and was previously married to famous American politician Robert F. Kennedy’s daughter, Kerry Kennedy.
