On this Women’s Day (8 March 2025), have a look at the newspapers; most of the politicians and public personalities are trying to highlight the good role they played in favor of this movement.
That’s the power of the women’s movement in Pakistan. First they opposed it. Then they opted to remain silent. Then they joined the chorus. And now they are supporting it, and most of all, now they are counting their contributions to it. That translates into the fact that they are on the defensive now.
The Women’s Movement in Pakistan has crossed a milestone. Bravo! Congrats to all!
Two other movements, the Pashtun Tahaffuz Movement (PTM) and the Rule of Law Movement (Lawyers’ Movement), have yet to make their mark. The PTM is destined to cross a milestone soon, but the Lawyers’ Movement has yet to show a semblance of maturity.
Years ago, I noted that these three movements are going to shape the future of Pakistan.
