Young women from Lahore expose the man who took pictures of her and her friend in a park in Lahore. In a video that went viral on social media, the two young women in Lahore took to social media and exposed their harasser who secretly took their pictures in Jam-e-Shirin Park in Lahore.
One of the two women named, Leena Ghani, shared the video of their confrontation with the boy. The viral video shows the young man resorting to abusive and lewd behavior when confronted for taking pictures.
In a long Twitter thread, she wrote: “This is not an isolated event; this violence occurs every day; you will witness this one because there is a video,” she wrote.
What I'm about to share with you is an incident that happened a few weeks ago at Jami-Shireen Park. This is not an isolated event; this violence occurs every day; you will witness this one because there is a video. 1/ pic.twitter.com/0a3Peaudoe

“We knew we were bound to attract unwanted attention, so we did what most women do: we ignored it,” Leena continued. “However, one very keen observer decided to take pictures; at this point, I intervened and asked him to leave. He refused and within a few seconds the situation escalated badly.”
The girl explained that she could not film the incident entirely as the man physically assaulted her and snatched her phone when she began to make his video.
This is why the video starts from the middle, right after he pushed me and snatched my phone from my hand only because I told him to leave. No one was seriously hurt except for one man’s ego, which was destroyed to bits by the end. 3/

No one was seriously hurt except for one man’s ego, which was destroyed to bits by the end.”
“This kind of rage is not unfamiliar to any of us. The cold dark piercing eyes, blank and void,” she further added. “A scrunched up face foaming at the mouth—incoherent speech and an out-of-control tongue. I have experienced this anger, the sort that has no return. And it always comes from men.”

In the conclusion of her tweet, she urged all men to take the incident personally so that they can feel the torment and pain felt by women from such incidents.
“I invite all men to feel disgusted, feel shame, and a collective sense of deep embarrassment. I urge all men to identify with this man abusing women; he is not the other,” she emphasizes. “[…] he is you. You patriarchy created.”
I say men deliberately, and I insist all men reading this, to take it personally; in fact, I invite all men to feel disgusted, feel shame and a collective sense of deep embarrassment. I urge all men to identify with this man abusing women; he is not the other. 5/

If you don't believe me, ask the women in your lives. They will tell you how they recognise the cold eyes, the death stare and the abuse that flows afterwards. They will tell you to them, he and you are the same. 7/

Now all men repeat after me.
NOT ALL MEN.
ALL MEN.
MEN.
ME.— leena #FreePalestine🇵🇸 (@Leena_Ghani) April 22, 2021
She slammed them further in her following tweet. She said, “You are the problem if you are silent if you don’t want to resist and revolt. […] When we say “Yes All Men” we mean every man because we know the anger that men have carried as their generational legacy, tradition and culture lives inside of them and can show its ugly face at any moment. And we have carried the effects of their anger as our generational trauma.”
However, citizens have urged authorities to take action against the man visible in the video.
