16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence Special Episode

As the world marks the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, this episode highlights a crucial truth: gender equality in politics is not just a matter of representation, it is a matter of safety, justice, and human rights.

Women in Pakistan continue to fight for visibility, voice, and influence within political spaces shaped by deep-rooted patriarchy and power imbalances. Their exclusion doesn’t just weaken democracy it reinforces cycles of discrimination and violence.

In this special 16 Days episode, feminist scholar and activist Dr. Farzana Bari joins us to explore:

Why women’s political participation is essential for ending gender-based violence

• How structural barriers silence women’s leadership
• The limitations of reserved seats and tokenism
• The urgent reforms needed for meaningful political inclusion
• How stronger representation can reshape Pakistan’s democratic and social future

This conversation is a powerful reminder that closing the gender gap in politics is a transformative step toward a safer, fairer, and more inclusive Pakistan.
