Perhaps it is Allah’s way of showing thru our enemies, to shame us and to show we have gone astray. Men and women both Jahal and Parlay likhay Jahal of villages and cities. Perpetrating sinful acts of injustices, heinious crimes on each other. One by physical harm and the other by not fulfilling responsibilities, not recognizing, by not giving respect, his rights by obeying. In turn not recieving it
either. All due to the fact both are Jahal in error and do not practice Deen e Islam or follow Al-Quran and Sunnah. All the meanwhile enemies are pushing their evil socio-economic agenda to destory us and reap benefits. It is up to us to use our wisdom and intelligence to recognize and not be happy, proud and run to receive such awards without thinking. Her such efforts would have been far better teaching all how to practice and implment Deen e Islam, Way of Life in their daily lives with accountability to each other and finally to Allah, SWT.

It is not an honor to be recognized by others of our problems in our society, which has gone Corrupt. As we are not following our Deen Way of life! Perhaps it is Allah’s way of showing our own blemishes by others to wake us up. To mend our ways to strengthen ourselves! He adresses us and told us why He sent us. To lead, not to follow others. Yet we are blindly following blind, to be like them. He gave us system to live by, with rights, justice and with accountability to all. Yet, today, we beg and feel good to be recognized by others. How sad!

You are right. However, do not we have other platforms to resolve women issues?. Why run into the arms of the west to receive award or recognition? Before accepting award should not we be checking who is giving & what is their agenda? Do they give awards to Israeli women who will stand up to expose Israeli or Palestinian women sufferings by Israeli men or society? Ofcourse NO!
One can only guess It is a Zionists Organization with an agenda!

Thanks Nabeel, unfortunately there are many people like Akil who believe that hiding our dirty laundry would make our country a better place. What he doesnt understand that it is people like Shirmeen that the world thinks that Pakistanis can think for ourselves and are creative people.

Saghi I think it is you who is hung up on the west. your hatred for it is having you turn a blind eye to our own misery. In our country little girls get shot for just going to School. Sorry but your ignorance doesnt help our country in any shape or form.
There is a reason why any pakistani would like to move to West on a drop of a hat. There is no Islam in Pakistan, only blind ignorance and hatred lives here.

What impact has or will the film in reducing the plight of these women? Films never change societies laws do. Pakistan’s issue is lawlessness and getting awards from the West can uplift Ms. Obaid’s image but not the battered image of women of Pakistan.

What a shame to represent our country on such an issue !, Chinoy should use her creativity in a more positive way to benefit us and not the west. She should be ashamed to produce such a film.

Do you live in a bubble? Perhaps you are judging the West based on what you see in movies, or television. I lived in Karachi for 12 years and in USA for 17 years now. I would not want to raise my daughter in Pakistan. She has more opportunities and respect in the USA than in Pakistan.
