Pervaiz Khattak Slut-Shaming Female PPP Supporters Has Left Pakistanis Absolutely Furious

By Zoha | 18 Jul, 2018

Time and again, it has been proven that it isn’t easy being a woman in politics. In Pakistan, a woman in politics faces a lot of backlash for following her beliefs. It’s perfectly normal to not follow someones political stance, but do we need to resort to degradation?

 

Remember when Khwaja Asif called Shireen Mazari a “tractor trolley”?

Let’s not forget women in politics degrading other women in politics, too.

 

As we can see, this goes way back. Women being degraded, slut-shamed, and verbally harassed has a history in Pakistan, hence proven. And recently, Pervaiz Khattak seems to have hopped aboard this atrocious trend.

While speaking to a crowd, Pervaiz Khattak recently made highly degrading statements in his jalsa for the supporters of Pakistan People’s Party.

Regardless of political affiliations, women (and even men) should be treated with respect at all times. Mud-slinging should never be the answer. What do you think about these derogatory remarks made by Pervaiz Khattak against women? Let us know in the comments section.
