News Desk

LAHORE: In a recent public statement, Maryam Nawaz, Vice President of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), has called on a woman who was assaulted to retaliate against her attacker.

This remark came during a rally in Lahore on Saturday, where she expressed solidarity with victims of violence.

Maryam Nawaz emphasized the importance of standing up against oppression, stating, “For every slap you received, you should give back the same.”

Her comments were met with mixed reactions, highlighting the ongoing discourse around women’s rights and the societal response to violence against women in Pakistan.

This incident underscores the broader implications of gender-based violence in the country, where many women face harassment and assault without adequate support from authorities.

Maryam’s statement aims to empower women to reclaim their agency and challenge the status quo, resonating with many who advocate for social justice.

As discussions around women’s rights gain momentum, upcoming events and rallies are expected to further address these issues, with activists calling for stronger legal protections and societal change.

The PML-N is likely to continue its focus on women’s empowerment in its political agenda.
