Meesha Shafi Just Addressed How Society Looks At Harassment And Harassment Victims

By Arslan Athar | 21 Jul, 2018

Meesha Shafi has been making waves ever since she accused Ali Zafar of sexual harassment. After she came forward with the allegations, people were quick to dismiss her and her claims. Calls were made for her to bring forward evidence to back her claims that Ali Zafar sexually harassed her. This type of behaviour wasn’t unique to Meesha Shafi and her allegations, rather this is the reaction that is usually seen and now, expected when a woman comes forward with claims of harassment.

Meesha addressed this culture yesterday when she tweeted out to the people at Go Pro 

(Just in case any of you don’t know what a Go Pro is, it’s a small handheld camera recorder that is capable of shooting really high-quality video)

Meesha calls out for some help from an international mover and shaker, Elon Musk!

Meesha has had to face a lot of people asking her for ‘evidence’, and well in the case of harassment evidence is hard to come by. This is probably a reaction on her part, coming out of the frustration of having to deal with trolls on a daily basis.

Of course, the trolls didn’t rest today 

People were just not original with their comebacks at all

Wow aap ne ye math kaisi ki? 

Clearly, the practice of blaming what people wear is still pretty much there

‘Cover yourself’: AMAZE

Some people felt compelled to correct Meesha

Warnings were sent to the people at Go Pro 

New laws were passed by the twitterati 

There were (thankfully) some voices that stood with Meesha 

People were taking on trolls and breaking down their arguments

So, how do you feel about Meesha’s tweet and the response she got?
