Every year many women in Pakistan are a victim of brutal acid attacks, most of the incidents go unreported and the culprits are never convicted. Women who are a victim of such brutal torture never receive proper medical care and access to first aid, the result of which is a plethora of skin related diseases and problems.
Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy winning the Oscars
Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy‘s oscar, apart from the glamorous hustle and bustle, would do one thing, it will create more and more awareness about such a huge issue. It’s only because of her achievement that the issue which never made news has come to the limelight and is being discussed on every platform. In Pakistan, Law making related to such important issues and human rights are both neglected areas.
Before this Oscar almost 50 percent of Pakistanis on Facebook and Twitter must have been completely alien to this issue. after the Oscar now everybody is talking about this issue and discussing it, which is the most important step in removing this menace from our society. Firstly it will create awareness and draw attention of the masses, secondly it will pave way for new laws and legislations to stop crimes of this sort and thirdly it will create urgency in non-profit sector organizations to start working for this cause.
After the winning the Oscar Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy launched anti-acid campaign which shows her determination to get the society rid of this menace. And it’s not just her duty to work for this cause but the whole nation should stand up to atrocities of every sort. The media should also play its part by encouraging such film makers. None of the Pakistani News channels would have bought such a documentary before it won the Oscars but now all of them must be already in queue to buy this film. If our News Channels can show Sheila, munni and other Bollywood news in their headlines so why can’t they highlight such problems?
Saving-Face
Apart from helping the survivors of these incident, film making would get a huge boost in a country where film industry is dying fast. it would encourage young film makers to come forth. It’s high time that we collectively pledge to remove this and other such problems and encourage people who stand for such causes.

Very nicely put together. This is how things suppose to happen but they never happen here, why?
I leave you with this thought? The problem is the system itself which failed us all the time and no one talks about it.
I like your flow and ease of work….Nice done, keep it up.

Your blog is good. I will follow it.
Thanks for pointing out.
And yes, congratulations to her.
appreciated!..
keep it up sir!
A very good post! I hope other issues are also brought to the limelight fairly soon. It’s a great thing to have bagged an Oscar, but also a shame that it took an Oscar for people to realise the reality of inhumane acts. Let’s hope the next Oscar is for an issue that’s been amazingly dealt with!
keep it up sir!
