*CALL TO ACTION*
If you are a person with any, even the tiniest platform...
If you are a page owner (like me, Danish Ali, Junaid Akram)
An admin for a group (like Soul Sisters, Karachi Schools Guide, Karachi Food Diaries etc), a media personality (actor, model, singer, news reporter), a writer (for Dawn, Tribune, Parhlo, Mangobaaz)
An army officer, a restaurant/salon/fashion label owner
A senior executive at a known company, an entrepreneur
A school owner, a teacher past or present
etc etc etc
YOU HAVE POWER. You know people. People know you. People are listening to what you are saying/writing/posting. Use that power.
Write about Zainab. Tweet about her. Ask questions. Demand answers. Tag anyone and everyone you know. Make some noise. Its the only way forward right now when everything is just so brutal and awful and incomprehensible.
We HAVE To do something. We CAN'T just pray and condole and "inna lillah, Allah ki marzi" our way out of this. Even if its JUST a few posts. Even if its JUST "lame armchair activism" and all the other hate people will throw our way.
We have to stop being AFRAID. Afraid of getting embarrassed by our own emotions. Afraid of sounding "over" passionate about something. Of sounding angry. Or "off-topic cuz really I only write about fashion". IT DOESN'T MATTER. You matter. Your voice matters. Make it work for you. Even if it trembles.
If you don't know what to say...
Copy and Paste this:
Zainab, 7, r***d and killed. I demand the Pakistani government to provide swift justice for her and security for all Pakistani children.
