Mariyam Nafees is tired of Pakistani society’s double standards for women and men.
The famous actress has said that women do not feel safe because of men in our society and they cannot go out because of men.
Talking on the FHM Podcast, Mariyam stated, “If boys walk alone in our society, even if they are semi-naked, no one can say anything to them.”
She said that our society has this idea that when a son is born in a house, people say proudly, “Oh, Allah has given me a son, the son is free, he can roam anywhere like a wild ox.”
Nafees said, “The same rules and principles for daughters should be applied to sons as well.”
She added, “I am not saying that the girls should be taken out of the house at 8 or 9 o’clock, I am saying that sons should also be called home in the evening.” The host said, “All of Karachi will be empty at night,” to which Mariyam replied, “At least it will be safe.”
She further explained, “What I mean is that the society should be such that neither the daughters have to be called back home nor the sons, there is no difference between the two, you are training the daughters very well to eat cook, pray, but what are you teaching your sons?”
