What would you do if someone secretly clicked a picture of your assets and then blackmailed you? I know what you’d want to do. Maybe, kick him so hard that he hangs on top of the Taj Mahal?

But, once they upload the photos/video on the internet, there’s not much we can do. This Lahore girl, however, took an action.

This fucking shit is real. The violation is real. Rape/Harassment is real.

It happened to my best friend. pic.twitter.com/7mhKgAG9rs

When she was changing her clothes in her room, a couple of 20-year-olds took her photographs and shot a video, leaving her with a note. The note read, “I have your nude video, meet me outside now. You are wearing white panty and black bra, holding iPad.”

The girl chooses to be unnamed and released an extremely strong letter.

“Today at around 12 AM, while on the phone with my friend I heard someone knocking on my window, and pointing to this note. I live in a fully gated colony (askari one apartments) and the window of my room looks out into a communal garden. Despite this, three guys in their early 20s were able to open my window and make videos of me changing my clothes. They slipped this note in and asked me to read it. I got pissed at their audacity because at first I thought it was them slipping their cell phone numbers to me, but upon their insistence, I opened and read this note. Once I had, they DEMANDED that I come outside right now and listen to what they had to say to me. When I said no, they said it more forcefully ‘baahir nikal, tujhe batatay hain’ at which point I absolutely lost it and stormed outside my room with my father to give them a fucking piece of my mind. However, they ran away before I was able to catch them but I made sure that my whole colony woke up and heard what happened. The questions that followed were basically polite jabs at my character: why was her window open? Are you sure she’s not involved with one of the boys? As if ANY of that matters when somebody took videos of me in MY ROOM, without MY consent and then had the audacity to try and blackmail me without ANY fear of consequence because they knew they could get away scot free and they have. Consent for females isn’t even a concept in this country and I am DONE with it. I am DONE. This is not the FIRST time I have been sextorted, nor am I the only woman going through it. So when you all whine about the extremists in our government, the rapists roaming free, the level of sexual and physical abuse women face in their homes, know that it doesn’t come from a VACUUM. The men doing these things are your sons, your brothers, your fathers and yourself. STOP ENABLING THIS TO HAPPEN TO THE WOMEN. Ghar main kaid kero aur WAHAN bhi jeena haraam ker dou.

P.S: share this as much as you like, if you like, but do it without my name to assuage my father’s concerns. Honestly, my name is not important in the least.”
