Pakistani super star Mahira Khan has given a strong message of courage to the women who have been subjected to domestic and physical violence in her new video.
The video was released in collaboration between Mashion PK and Master Molty Foam which brought a strong message of courage to empower women.
According to Mashion PK, more than 1 in 4 ever-married women, experienced physical violence since the age of 15 as per Pakistan Democratic and Health Survey. “This year we collaborated with Master Molty Foam once again to bring this empowering message of celebrating courage to speak up against abuse in all forms. It’s never too late to stand up, even if you stand alone!”
It showed the moment Mahira Khan takes an important decision in her life by saying no to marrying the man on the wedding day which was fully supported by her family like a unit after she was subjected to physical violence.
She wrote on Instagram along with the video, “This year we are treading deeper and saying things that we at Mashion believe matter. Mashaadi is more than just celebrating a wedding. It is about celebrating choice, courage and life @mashionpk A big thank youuu to Sherry for taking this up, for sensitively writing and directing this film. @sheheryarmunawar.”
