The silent suffering of University girls

(Mehran Hussain, MARDAN (M016))


Some people in my social circle wrongly assume that I am against female education in universities. This is far from the truth. I strongly support women’s education. However, I am against the co-education system in universities and the flawed management structure that allows a single professor to have complete control over students' GPA and marks. In my opinion, this is one of the major causes of harassment and blackmailing of female students in universities.

Now, I am not saying that all professors are bad. Good and bad people exist everywhere. There are many professors who fulfill their duties with honesty and integrity, who truly believe in education and guiding students toward success. But then, there are also those who misuse their power and become part of shameful activities that destroy the dignity and future of young girls. It is because of such individuals that female students are left vulnerable to exploitation.

What is even more heartbreaking is that the girls who fall victim to these dirty-minded professors remain silent—not because they are weak, but because they fear for their dignity and their family's honor. They know that if their parents find out, their education will be stopped immediately. And in some ways, this silence is also a result of how parents raise their daughters—always keeping them suppressed, controlled, and fearful. When a girl is taught to be afraid of her own voice, how can she speak out against injustice?

She suffers in silence, carrying the burden of her trauma while continuing her education. She watches her dreams fade away, knowing that the goals she once set for herself might never be achieved. She remains trapped—between the desire to build her future and the fear of losing everything if she dares to speak.

Is this the kind of education system we want for our daughters? A system where their success is tied to the whims of a corrupt professor? Where they must choose between dignity and dreams? Until we fix these fundamental flaws, true education and empowerment will remain a distant dream for many young women.
