After #MeToo, Men Confess to Harassment with #ItWasMe

By
Ghazala Sulaiman
-

Over the past few days, women all over the world have been using the #MeToo and boldly telling their tales of sexual harassment.

The story behind #MeToo

While our social feeds have been flooded with the brave tales of women surviving sexual abuse and rape, many might not be aware that it has gone viral as a reaction to the recent controversy about Harvey Weinstein.

The Hollywood producer has decades worth of sexual assault allegations, with many American actresses like Angelina Jolie and Gwyneth Paltrow accusing him of harassment.

#Metoo exposed the ubiquity of sexual assault in Pakistan

Via the full-blown movement, the world- especially men- have realized that rape is not something we can now stay silent about.

There's no tool to measure the intensity of abuse. Every time you objectify me, you abuse me. #MeToo

Posted by Muna Moini on Tuesday, October 17, 2017

The crucial matter needs to be discussed as it is a violation of a woman’s body, her boundary, and consent.

Its implications are life-changing and even damaging beyond our wildest imagination.

'Let's hide in the closet so she can't find us'#MeToo

Posted by Filza Fatima on Tuesday, October 17, 2017

Pakistani women have actively participated in the trend & the shocking numbers proved that how common sexual abuse in our society.

I have been reacting love to #metoo posted by my friends. Because what else to send all of you then the love to have…

Posted by Syedah Arva Javed on Tuesday, October 17, 2017

It is worth mentioning that even men are subjected to sexual harassment. Even they get abused and are vulnerable to sexual assault like women. Certainly, females have been the wronged sex for ages, but even men are on the receiving end of brutalities.

Hence, a lot of male public figures too jumped onto the #metoo bandwagon and shared their tales of torture to the world.

A call to Action!

It is important to realize that how much power a man has in this whole equation. 

For every lady that has survived sexual harassment, there is a man or men who have acted as a catalyst in violating a woman’s right.

Now, men are coming forward with their confession about sexual harassment with #itwasme.

However, there will still be a lot of guys who will remain silent about the role they have played in rape culture.

They still have not taken responsibility nor have intervened to end the epidemic of sexual assault

There is only so much a social media hashtag can do! While we may think that it can not create any major difference, it surely is a step in the right direction.

Consequently, women in Pakistan who are commonly hushed and suppressed to voice out their rights will feel empowered, motivated and even safe to speak the unspeakable.

The ‘knife attacker’ has been giving Karachites nightmares since the recent weeks. With a growing number of women being stabbed by this unknown assailant, panic has stricken the city of lights.

There were reports yesterday that the attacker had been identified and arrested by the police authorities, however, there has been a report of another vicious attack on a young teenage girl in the vicinity of Federal B. Area that took place last night.

According to SSP Central, Irfan Ali Baloch, the girl has been identified to be aged around 14-15 years and was stabbed while traveling on a motorbike with her brother. The attack took place near the Askari Imambargah and it was reported that the suspect fled after stabbing the girl.

The teenager has sustained severe injuries to her back and was treated at a private hospital. The police were informed about the attack and are carrying out an investigation, however, the weapon used in the incident has not been identified as yet.

A special squad of the Karachi police lead by District Korangi SSP Captain (retd) Haider Raza reported yesterday that they had succeeded in catching the criminal. Waseem was reportedly nabbed from Mandi Bahauddin in Punjab.

DIG Dr. Jameel said:

WASEEM HAS BEEN ARRESTED BY SAHIWAL POLICE. HOWEVER, IT WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT FOR KARACHI POLICE TO COLLECT SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE. WASEEM SPENT VERY LITTLE TIME IN KARACHI.

However, no further details were revealed in regard to his identity and the reason behind the attacks.

A massive total of 16 women have been hurt in the last 3 weeks in these attacks. All of these ladies were attacked by the perpetrator with a  supposedly sharp object.

It is now unsure whether the actual suspect held accountable for all these attacks has been arrested or not.

Over the past few days, Mahira Khan has been in the limelight a lot! Some stood up for the starlet while the rest left no stone unturned to mock, criticize and bash.

But our favorite Khan has been as strong as a rock and rose all over again like the queen she is to silence all the haters!

Yesterday night, we all got proof that why Pakistan will always love Mahira Khan and she will forever be the nation’s ultimate sweetheart!

I love this beautiful smile 😍😍😍😍 @mahirahkhan 💞💞 . . #mahirakhan

Slaying in white at Pakistan’s Bridal Couture Week, the Raees haseena looked amazeballs as she was crowned the first ever Pakistani Brand Ambassador of L’Oreal Paris.

She is the only woman from our homeland who now stand with the likes of Sonam Kapoor, Aishwarya Rai, Naomi Watts, Eva Longoria and Helen Mirren.

A post shared by Entertainment,Fashion&ManyMore (@itscelebritiesworld) on

While our hearts are swelling with pride over the news, Khan’s speech at the event the has impressed us even more!

 

The head turner owned the stage, as she talked about empowerment, failures and being powerful.

“Through the times of turbulence, through the joys, through the ups and downs, through the mistakes we make and all the success we get, let nobody… nobody’s opinion define who you are”

And she ended it with an epic message, proving she is meant to conquer the world

“And if anybody defines who you are, let it be yourself. Because including me and all the women out there, we’re all worth it!”

Her speech surely reflects the ordeal of last month, when Indian publications tried to shred her respect into pieces and gossip mongers started spinning tales to ruin her career.

Ironically, she was also wearing white- the color of innocence, purity, goodness, and honesty. It could not have been a better way to shut down her haters once and for all.

 Everybody on social media has now gone gaga over the diva!

 

 

 

Trolls have now been forced into hiding, now that they now MK is undefeatable! 

The babe is back and she is here to rule! More power to Mahira Khan.

A recent controversy surrounded the renown educational institution, The Institute of Business Management (IoBM) regarding the dress code policy that caused harassment of a member of the visiting faculty by the university’s security in charge.

However, she wasn’t spared by the Twitter brigade! 

After the plethora of tweets she received, the politician realized her mistake and sent out an apology through her official Twitter account.

By
Anusha Sachwani
-

The Toyota Vitz first made its appearance back in 2003 when importing cars was a rare deal. Also known as Toyota Yaris, it was one of the first cars to be imported in Pakistan.

Impressing drivers and passengers with its build quality, features, and look, the Yaris soon became a popular variant and was started to be seen all across the country in little time.

Aqua, another popular model by Toyota also known as Prius Jr. also did good work for the company in terms of sales and revenue.

However, the company has now decided to discontinue the popular Aqua and replace it with a new version of Vitz.

The new Vitz, being dubbed as the Vitz 1.5 hybrid synergy, is a combination of Vitz 1.0 and Toyota Aqua 1.5 with a new 1.5-litre hybrid engine.

According to a source, the vehicle will be available in 4 different variants, hybrid 1.5, Hybrid F2, Jewela2, U2, and Sports Package.

The car will be available in Barrel brown and Avant-Garde Bronze metallic, along with 17 other colors.

Toyota hopes to once again boost the Vitz sales to compete with its rivals including Honda and Suzuki.

What are your thoughts about Toyota’s new strategy?

According to reports and various speculations, Apple might be working with LG to develop a new series of innovation, foldable iPhones!

Although Apple stuck to Samsung for the display of iPhone X, LG is their choice for their new lineup. Both companies will work together, however, neither of the companies have made their partnership official as of yet.

https://www.brandsynario.com/samsung-galaxy-x-foldable-smartphone-fight-iphone-x/

Reports also added that Apple has decided to invest in E% plant to speed up the whole process. Production is expected to kick-start after 2020.

Although Apple has a unique concept in mind, Samsung is already working on this technology with OLED display and has almost nailed their invention.

If the teamwork of LG and Apple works, the monopoly of Samsung in smartphone industry might just get challenged. Samsung is the only company that successfully rule the smartphone tech industry till now.

However, this unique lineup might just change everything for Apple if it manages to compete with Samsung while getting ahead in the game.

COMSATS Terminates Staggering Number of Staff!

By

-

Federation of All Pakistan Universities Academic Staff Association (FAPUASA) has strongly condemned the termination of 300 staff by COMSATS University.  The educational institute has made a huge cut in the number of employees that includes faculty, admin staff, contractual and daily wage workers.

The termination of these employees has resulted in a public outcry. The FAPUASA has mentioned that some of the workers have been working at COMSATS for a long-term period of 13 years.

What is worse is the staff has been fired without following the proper termination procedure as reported by the employee union.

The Institute is part of the public sector but is being run as a private property of the management in charge. The association, FAPUASA has demanded Comsats to re-hire all the employees and declare the terminations void as soon as possible.

The employee union, FAPUASA has also requested the President, Prime Minister and the Minister for Science and Technology to take legal action against the administration of the university for the unfair treatment of its staff.

We have yet to see what action is taken by the authorities to rectify the mistake made by the institute.

Pakistan’s leading manufacturer, Suzuki Pakistan, has decided to reduce the price on their Suzuki Bandit GSF650SA. The company launched a bunch of high-end motorbikes a couple of years ago, which includes the Bandit.

Previously, the company had reduced their price for Suzuki Inazuma their 250cc ride from 6.81 lacs to 5.99 lacs in a bid to make them more attractive and accessible to Pakistani bike enthusiasts.

Given that now they are wanting to reduce their price for the 650cc Bandit, the drop in the price might be working in favor of the company. The original price for the 4-cylinder 650cc Suzuki Bandit was previously PKR1,550,000. The new price is now at PKR1,450,000.

However, its only for a limited time!

A-level Students to Face Tough Time for MBBS, BDS Admissions

By
Ghazala Sulaiman
-

According to new regulations of Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC), MBBS and BDS students will face a tough time for admission to MBBS and BDS program.

The news has come out as a major shocker for medical students hailing from the A-level background.

Federal minister Saira Afzal Tarrar chaired the meeting of the PMDC and declared that Pakistani A-level students would not be able to get admissions against foreign seats to any private medical college.

Local students can still apply on merit basis. They will have to face a tougher competition from HSC students.

Foreign students will have a higher chance of getting admission in Pakistani Medical University

According to the regulations:

“No candidate shall be eligible for foreign quota seats in public and private medical and dental institutions under sub-regulation (1) and (2) unless he holds a permanent foreign nationality or dual nationality or overseas Pakistani students and who have physically studied and passed secondary certificate (SSC) and HSSC passing 12th grade examination or equivalent from outside Pakistan during his stay abroad and having a certificate from the institution last attended to this effect”

A PMDC official told media:

“Out of the 41,677 students who had applied for admission to private medical and dental institutions in 2013-14, 7.2 per cent – or 2,981 — fell under the non-FSc qualification category.”

“In 2014-15, this ratio dropped to 6.7pc, in 2016 the new PMDC regulations inflicted a major dent to the futures of A-level students by imposing a complete ban on their applications.”

The admission test of MBBS and BDS are all set to be held this month. But this situation has caused a major frustration for the A-level students.

Telenor Pakistan May Face a Hefty Fine By CCP!

By
Alefyah Hasnain
-

The Competition Commission of Pakistan (CCP) has recently taken action against companies involved in forms of deceptive marketing. It has now issued a Show Cause Notice to Telenor Pakistan for prima facie violating Section 10 of the Competition Act 2010 by deceptively marketing its 4G services.

According to report by Daily Times, CCP can fine Telenor with Rs 75 million just in case the telecom operator fails to satisfy the Commission against the show cause notice.

A CCP official reported:

“if the undertaking in question fails to satisfy the Commission, section 38 of the competition law empowers imposition of penalty through an order passed on the completion of enquiry process”

Earlier, CCP received a formal complaint against Telenor by ZONG Pakistan claiming that Telenor’s 4G marketing campaign was wrong where they mention “Telenor 4G services are absolutely free”. Telecom company, Zong also mentioned that Telenor’s claim of “4G services available across Pakistan” 

Competitor company, Zong also added that the far-fetched claims by Telenor are misleading customers and harming the business of its competitors.

After the official complaint, the CCP looked into the matter and found out that Telenor is only offering the first 100 MBs of data free of cost. After the free data is used, customers are then charged for the additional usage.

For the second claim of availability of 4G services across Pakistan, the CCP’s inquiry report states that the 4G services are found in 7 cities that includes, Karachi, Lahore, Faisalabad, Islamabad, Quetta, Peshawar, and Multan. The claim was further misleading as the internet services were only available in certain spots throughout the 7 cities.

However, in response, Telenor Pakistan has responded to the action taken by the CCP.

Here’s what they have to say: 

Telenor Pakistan is an ethical and law-abiding corporate entity and carries out its operations in accordance with law and conducts all business activities responsibly.

We always strive to maintain clear communication with our valued customers and ensure that there is no ambiguity as far as our package plans or pricing is concerned.

The 4G campaign in question was launched in 2016 and we clarified in our communication that internet usage is free for first 100MBs.

Also, our claim regarding the reach of our 4G services in certain cities was specified and intended to mark the availability of services in those cities without specifically claiming blanket coverage in any number of locations or cities.

The said campaign is already over. We are contesting the matter before CCP.

Telenor Pakistan strives to bring the benefits of internet to the people of Pakistan and to give access to quality content under our Internet For All ambition and we are fully committed towards the fulfillment of our ambition through aggressive network expansion, one of the fastest growing 4G footprint and introduction of digital products and services to cater to the needs of the masses.

After Zong’s complaint, we wonder if this is going to stir up another brand war. Let’s wait and watch what Telenor Pakistan’s next move will be.
