Women s clothes have become a hot topic these past few days and everyone, from our prime minister to our human rights minister, has an opinion.
Of course, while we weren t too pleased with Prime Minister Imran Khan s take, we have to applaud Federal Human Rights Minister Shireen Mazari for a tweet she posted about respecting women s choice of dress. But this is a story in two parts, and while we applaud her in part one, we re sighing in dismay in part two.
Part I Absolutely reject anyone, especially a woman, ridiculing or insulting any woman over choice of dress, she wrote on Twitter. Arrogance to assume what another woman s idea of Pakistan may be! Muslim women are being denied their right to dress as they wish in Europe let s not deny our women their right of dress choice.
