Eyong formally studied feminism and reading about the history of women’s rights movement around the world, sometimes can even give the idea that they are fully equipped to fight ideal principles. Rights like me, who have studied in good schools, and their supporting parents may find that their contribution to women’s rights activity is valuable. But then there are other women, including some front lines in the women’s rights movement, who have not read literature but have practically revived the feminine theory. Feministic literature, while valuable, does not always fully prepare anyone for the strict facts of activity. The real power of this movement comes from women who live female principles, not read about them.
In August 2024, in hoping to meet such a hero, I traveled to southern Punjab. I read articles about it. At a young age, she became an authentic voice against violent methods against women in rural areas and has been a part of our conversation, but we have heard the last time. When I prepared to meet her, I was quite surprised and was not sure how the conversation would go.
Finally, I was in Elipur and reached his house. I found him standing out, waiting for me. No one usually sees women doing so in southern Punjab village. Mukhtar has a simple house. She was very calm and on the ground below. He felt to me as if I was meeting with a nephew. His simple home and quiet presence relieved my fears.
I asked that he handed over his schools to the government. He said earlier that those funds were out and donors could not be found to maintain the school and then added that there has always been a challenge for a woman running the institute. “For many men here, I am like a bone in their throat. They can neither chew nor swallow it. This is a strong woman for them.
He said he did not try to keep the world’s latest works. Instead, she was just trying to secure her world for women around her. The tribe, who was sexually assaulted by men in my city after the tribal jirga decision, said, “I was not aware of what would happen … I just knew that what happened was extremely unfair and I would not bow down. It was
Why did the funding dry? Mukhtar said, “I can’t write long suggestions in English. I am a simple rural woman who is trying to raise my children. Most financial support goes to women’s rights workers in cities. They protect the project aid because they have strong educational backgrounds and international networks.
While Mukhtaria lives in Alipur, he speaks a series and lacks access to international funding opportunities, most of the funds in cities receive funds and some of them never reach the lower levels. I have written myself for a grant that I was living in Pakistan, saying that I was living in Pakistan. Grants have been used in schools in most urban centers.
We should just go beyond recognizing the problem and actively finding solutions: Development of a comprehensive funding mechanism, promoting guidance programs that reach backward classes and prefer women’s voice that revive the facts of systematic oppression.
For a person like Maktiyar, who has given his entire life to fight for women’s rights, lack of a right network creates an unfair environment. The point to bring this is to make a solution to how we can improve our efforts to secure the world not only for urban centers but also in the circle. On the contrary, the hereditary injustice of a system is highlighted that prefers access to resources and contacts, and often surpasses women who make the most deeper investment in change.
The clash forced a critical self to reflect. It was not enough to recognize this disparity. He demanded action. We, in the urban sector, should fight the limits of their current methods. How can we eliminate obstacles that women like Muktiyar stop supporting their needs and accessing resources? How can we change our focus on urban centers and cultivate meaningful, sustainable changes in periodic periods? We should just go beyond recognizing the problem and actively finding solutions: Development of a comprehensive funding mechanism, promoting guidance programs that reach backward classes and prefer women’s voice that revive the facts of systematic oppression. Only then can we fairly claim that they are working not only in our nearest environment, but also working towards a safe world for all women.
We shared a cup of tea, discussed her life after being recognized internationally and how she still meets women who are suffering.
He has continued to stay in the same area and talked about how he received threats from the people against whom he fought. “This is a threat. I could move somewhere, but I don’t want. I belong to here; I will stay here no matter what.
It was forced me to think about how the media reporting could only create a bubble of reputation and identity. Once you get out of the news, you are forced to revive the facts that you temporarily escaped. For me, the face of the original flexibility.
When she got up to face the abusers with her, she did not know how many sounds would come with her. He said goodbye to me, “I like to talk to young women who are trying to find their voices.”
