The recent past history have
witnessed that the most vulnerable communities in the world, either the
developed or the developing are the women and the children with the least say,
heard or the counting of their concerns.
To resolve their issues many more intellectuals, scholars, writers, novelists,
drama designers, artistes and the human rights practitioners have been doing
their keen efforts but it did not help the deprived so far.
Thousands of dramas, films, theaters, have pleaded their cases on the national
and the international forums hoping the best to come up that the women and the
youth girls would have their say and be counted before the policy makers and the
implementers but yet all efforts have gone invain and the deprived communities
are still in a waiting list, once might be recognized as the equal human beings.
The proposed drama might be an effort of the same continuity but with reference
to its results achieved so far the think tanks need to review their script
writings, reorganizes their strategies to target whom and with what slogans or
the messages including their affectivity and time- lined results or the goals to
achieve almost after utilizing of billions of funding.
This drama and likewise such others are almost the production of (Abid Ali) who
is keen perhaps in having the debate on the issues related to genders rights and
especially the rights of the female genders who are supposed to have been denied
their rights equal to their male genders.
Hundreds of such dramas and the plays have been shot and got public admiration
as the best drama, nice performances of the concerned artistes, good and
intellectual editing including the uses of the camera but it did not help the
neglects called the prostitutes, almost our mothers, sisters, daughters, wives
and so on whom we the most honest and the most respectful citizens have brought
there and staged them there for just our luxuries to meet.
Let me quote here a saying of a prominent scholar and the investigator writer,
Dr.Fauzia Saeed, now perhaps heading a department of the federal government had
investigated a story of the Red Area of Lahore where she had exposed much more
of the going on activities and a little of the females of the red area except
branding the “Mahmood” with some wrong words for his name.
She might have had gained more respect as the big writer after presenting her "Kalank"
but it was far better to diagnose the disease and prescribe the proper
medication to lessen the disease.
Unfortunately she did not talk about this serious issue for which she had been
famous to help the deprived and the marginalized in the society.
In fact, we the honorable citizens of Pakistan have not taken this issue to be
resolved honorably by having the alternative choices for those women, once
smuggled, kidnapped or sold or trickily placed there.
We did not try to investigate the real sellers and the buyers and do the lawful
for their release and honorable return to their home land and if not accepted by
their families or their tribes they would have had the alternatives to run their
life respectfully.
We had the alternatives for these communities such as provision of education and
skills training to these victims and offering them funding or the easy loans for
their small scale businesses along with short courses trainings including the
provision of their products marketing facilities so these communities would have
access to justice as the equal gender with equal rights and respect in the
society.
Let me quote here an evidence of our lords( almost saints) who ruled this
country for the last 70 years and promised the nation to lessen our problems and
resolve our legal issues did not help the deprived and the poor communities in
the society however used all the financial and the natural resources for their
own interests, gained their vested benefits, made billions of funding, got
billions of rupees loans write off, had access to all the legal rights more than
the majority along with no accountability of their looting and crimes against
the people of Pakistan and the country.
Thus keeping in view the above said situation of the existing sex industries in
the country and finding out their solution would be a damn fool dream to come
true.
It has two solutions to be resolved honorably, one, some of our daring
Pakistanis have done and proved the real fighters of the human rights for the
neglected and especially for the women who are never heard nor listen neither
counted for their concerns.
These daring fellows got married with their beloveds and made an example of real
Muslims who helped the helpless and the needy.
The second option had the state to get it resolved respectfully by selecting
these people, get short termed education and skills trainings of different
courses along with a comprehensive mechanism to facilitate these communities
have ensued their products marketed in semi government run and managed super
stores or the Utility Stores with an open appeal to the business communities and
so on.
The difference or the main hurdle on the way is that the women forced to join
the sex industry have not been recognized as the human being despite knowing the
very fact that they belonged to our races, blood, tribes, families and are not
the commodities to be sold or purchased.
We in fact wanted to have these communities placed there and used for our
luxuries meeting our devilish vulgar and the vulture desires.
Once in a meeting headed by the governor of Punjab a most respectful member of
the city government refused to sit with “Mehmood” who had been representing the
red area.
The governor told the meeting a nice resolution and a humanitarian idea, get
married with these women and the issue is resolved respectfully,
The meeting was stunned because they were never expecting such remarks nor the
proposals because they had deemed to have these women there with proud.
Unfortunately, we have not realized yet that these women are ours and we placed
them there and we are the main culprits and the runners of these Bazaars and the
Mundies if logically analyzed.
In short, if we wanted to resolve these issues we then have to have daring steps
not relying just on the production of dramas for minting billions with having no
solution or the remedy.
We each are responsible for these crimes and equally partners for not defending
them as the equal genders, the reason behind are probably the male gendered
mentality with an exclusive authority to decide the fate of the aggrieved.
