Self Defense; A Necessity in Today’s World.
With the country becoming increasingly unsafe for women to live in, we must take matters into our own hands and practice self defense.
Time and time again we have been told that women are unsafe in this country, that under all circumstances a woman needs a man to protect her. Ever since a girl is born, she is thought of as weak, fragile, and one that needs protection at all costs.
In light of recent events such as the Lahore motorway incident, which has stirred a lot of public outrage, has made the need for women to protect themselves even more imminent. There is nothing wrong with wanting to ensure one’s safety and taking appropriate measures to do so.
It is only fair that women educate themselves and are fully prepared to face any or all unpleasant encounters in order to protect themselves. We believe that women should be allowed to carry protective gear with them wherever they go, whether that is weapons, pepper sprays, or tasers. We cannot stress the importance of carrying protective gear enough, it is a necessity in such times.
Times where women are at risk almost all the time, as said by to our government or multiple conservatives on countless occasions; women should not leave the house alone, they are unsafe on their own and unsafe in secluded places. They should always be having a man for protection.
A great solution to this would be introducing self-defense classes. Self-defense classes for women where they teach females to defend themselves in certain situations, how to tackle such encounters, and instantly act against it. Sadly, this is the new normal and we must embrace it in order to eradicate this patriarchal mindset and unnecessary dependence on men, women must learn the art of self-defense to protect themselves.
As assault and harassment are peaking in Pakistan, there are many facilities that are offering self-defense classes all around the country.

Moreover, many individual civilians have stepped up and offered to begin private self-defense lessons as well; this is a great initiative and we believe everyone should participate to learn how to protect themselves, for every situation.
We, however, understand that the answer to such problems is not as simple as protective gear and self-defense classes. The journey to improvement is a long one, even though we encourage women to take such protective measures for themselves, it should not be a necessity. The first step towards the journey of safety must be to educate men, create awareness for the rights and wrongs, communicate about things which are normally considered taboo, and instead of providing suggestions to women, we should begin by stopping men.
