Shaniera Akram, an activist, and wife of former Pakistani cricketer Wasim Akram speaking out against sexual abuse has asked victims not to back down and "yell at" abusers at the scene.
Shaniera, in a tweet on Tuesday, said: "Sexual abuse is happening in the most common places throughout Pakistan."
"If you are in public and someone touches you inappropriately, I give you permission to turn around, point your finger at them and yell as loud as you can MUJHE HAATH MAT LAGAO," he added.
Shaniera's statement comes days after she used Twitter to promote the Polished Man campaign that aims to portray a "softer side" of men in the country and raise awareness of child abuse.
Sharing photos of some of Pakistan's most prominent faces in various different fields, Shaniera wrote: “Some of the toughest men Pakistan has produced are showing their softer side and coloring a fingernail to represent the millions of children who suffer all. days in the hand of an adult. Our Pakistani heroes say 'We will NOT tolerate child abuse in our country.'
