ISLAMABAD – *So if you come across a video of me swearing out of my mind,just know it’s a woman putting a disgusting man in his place. And next timeyou want to make a move? Don’t hide in the crowd because I’ll show you whatwomen are really made of,” wrote ‘Visaal’ actress Hania Amir on her Twitteraccount.*
The actress, as we can gauge from her tweets, probably faced sexualharassment at a public place by some man disguised as a fan. The manprobably took advantage of being in a crowd surrounding the actress to getaway with his crime.
“Being a public figure does not mean that we are public property and meantto be harassed by men disguised as fans,” she wrote, adding that suchpeople should not call themselves fans “if they reciprocate our love withrewarding us embarrassment, discomfort and psychological trauma”.
She maintained that female celebrities step out of their comfort zones tobe with fans but acts like these force them to reconsider and doubt theirdecision to meet fans in public places.
“It is because of such individuals that women are scared to step out oftheir homes, not work and live their lives in fear. Respect all women asyou’d expect the women of your own households to be respected,” said the* Jaanan* actress.
Hania whose foray into the entertainment industry started with casuallymade Instagram videos, concluded by saying that nothing can justify theobjectification and harassment of any other individual.
“It is sad that in spite of the country progressing, better education;women are still merely an object of desire for some,” wrote the 21-year-oldactress.
