In order to mark International women’s day
this year, Tashadud Namanzur has launched a pictorial contest. Tashadud
Namanzur is a social media campaign initiated to voice concerns and raise
awareness regarding different forms of violence against women, prevalent in our
society. The contest was launched as a follow-up to the youth dialogue organized
by United Nations Pakistan in collaboration with Oxfam GB, EVAWG Alliance and
Men Engage Alliance to commemorate the International Women’s day at Quaid-i-Azam University.
The dialogue focused on demanding effective steps to put an end to violence
against women.
To raise
awareness,Tashadud Namanzur has employed different mediums in past, ranging
from blogs to podcasts etc. However, this time it has taken the support of the
emotional element, a picture has to offer, to take its cause to the next level.
Under the name
of ‘I am Pakistan’, this pictorial contest would depict the brighter side of
being a woman in Pakistan to the entire world.
It aims to highlight the contributions of women to our society in different walks and
aspects of life alongside men and how today’s woman has redefined her clichéd vulnerable existence.
