So you think the agenda is to seek Western lobby’s attention as opposed to the popular rhetoric that she’s doing it to ‘highlight’ the issue for home audience. Okay fine. Now mind explaining how many Hollywood celebrities have flocked to Pakistan to save humanity based on her first film which was released in 2012? How many convictions over acid attack have taken place in Pakistan since her film came out?

It’s so nauseating to expect Pakistanis to feel oh so proud of her Oscar when 99.09% haven’t even seen her films, and vast majority of them will probably never have access to it. Like it or not, the author has made a fine point in the first couple of paragraphs.

Wishing for the culture to improve maybe wishful thinking, sometimes it takes time. That is a culture that glorifies Mumtaz Qadri and shuns human rights activists. The misogynist culture enables these kinds of acts. People talking about this is a start. I do feel that the whimpers of protests at Qadri’s hanging prove that mullahs are losing control over masses. Foreign media attention forced Indian govt to take action against rapists.

She is a fellow Canadian and I as a human and Canadian applaud her work. We are global citizens also and human rights cannot be deemed as countries internal issue.

Since when is exposing the truth a shameful act.
