Sadia Imam, a well-known Pakistani actress and television host, has consistently used her platform to address pressing social issues. With a career of over two decades, she has gained recognition for her acting skills and thoughtful insights into societal norms.
Recently, Sadia has taken a firm stance against the rising instances of sexual violence and the prevailing attitudes that contribute to such behaviour. Through her compelling videos on Instagram, she continues to share meaningful messages with her fans, urging them to reflect on the mindset perpetuating these issues.
A Call for Reflection
She hasn’t been a very vocal critic of the deteriorating social dynamics, but has raised her voice in concern of the alarming increase in sexual assault cases, especially after the Punjab college incident. “Why are we always stuck with this cheap mindset? That he should not be here because he wore this particular tie or he was entering a shop and had this tie so he must be a pimp or prostitution-minded guy?” Sadia questioned, bringing forth an important point on societal mindset towards inappropriate clothing and how so much importance is given to external appearances while the reality gets lost in translation.

Challenging the Status
She feels that society channeled all this energy into answering the deep thoughts and behaviours that cause such evil acts instead of laying all the blame on the victim’s dress code
Sadia’s words are a wake-up call on respect being the bedrock of any society. She dared her audience to ask themselves why it is easier to criticize a person’s clothing than to check one’s thoughts.

The Importance of Respect
According to Sadia, this kind of mindset breeds a culture of victim blaming. The culture needs to change in terms respecting people for who they are and what they wear.
Sadie Imam has highlighted the development of a respectable society and to never judge based on what one wears. “Why can’t we be respectful toward each other?” she said, asking her followers to promote such a culture and respectability. The need for respect would become something bound to stop the victimization of individuals and make everyone feel safe. As a society, we have to unlearn our thinking about boundaries and the need to promote a culture of inclusivity.
