Woman in peshawar beat-up her harasser

If you’re a woman, there’s a high probability that at some point in your life you’ve experienced sexual harassment in a public place. It could have been a lewd comment by a perverted passer-by, a sleazy, lingering look or an inappropriate touch that made you feel uncomfortable and unsafe.

And while most women unfortunately experience all the above forms of harassment at one time or the other, they often bear the torment in silence, quickly removing themselves from the situation and spending days at length struggling with the anger and sense of helplessness that they experience each time they are confronted with such a situation.

But every now and then there is a woman who throws years of indoctrination of “the right way for a lady to conduct herself” to the wind and gives back to their harasser what he deserves! And we’re grateful for having come across the video of one such woman!

Recently, a woman in Peshawar beat-up her harasser and made him flee for his life!

The braveheart in question, who is clad in the traditional chaddar and naqab can be seen grabbing and slapping the guy who harassed her. When by-standers try to calm her down, she seems to quickly explain what had happened without loosening her grip on the harasser’s collar.

After receiving multiple high-octane slaps, the guy seems to briefly join his hands for forgiveness but the lady refuses to let him off with a mere apology and responds with another giant smack on his face.

Realizing that he will not find support from the crowd, the guy makes a run for it but she’s not one to back down. The lady chases the guy, grabs him one last time until he finally breaks away and flees for his life!

While every woman understandably might not be able to overcome the paralyzing fear that comes with sexual harassment and give the offender what he deserves, every once in a while when such a thing does happen, it gives a LOT of courage to those who have been taught to suffer harassment in silence.

You Can Now Report Sexual Harassment Through This Android App

To report incidents of sexual harassment and pin-point locations where harassment is most rampant, a group of students from Islamabad recently launched an Android app by the name of SpeakUp.

The app allows its users to report the location and  the nature of harassment, thereby creating a heat map that can be used by the authorities to identify those public places where sexual harassment is most rampant and take corrective measures to make those places safer.

The app also offers an emergency call feature, which sends a distress message along with the live location of the survivor/victim to his/her trusted contacts if s/he is in a dangerous situation which threatens to escalate to sexual violence.

The SpeakUp app is currently available on Google Play Store and an iOS version will soon be launched on Apple Store.
