 “Moti..gaindi”, “How will you get married?”, “I tried to be as invisible as possible.”, “Because of you, African kids are starving.”
These hurtful comments are only the tip of the iceberg. These women from Pakistan have been subjected to body shaming since they were kids. Zainab posted this heartbreaking video on her Facebook page. In this video, these women reveal the mental torture and trauma they have faced and how those harsh words have had a brutal effect on them.
Zainab Chughtai, a Lahore-based criminal lawyer, founded BullyProof in 2014. It’s a social awareness campaign against bullying. Chugtai on her Facebook page has said, “This is us taking back our own bodies, and owning our own skins. We are enough. I am enough. This is the beginning of something beautiful, and the first of much more such confessionals to come.”
We applaud and salute these women for restoring their self-belief. #Respect
