#MMCommunity Exchange: Processing the Collective Trauma of Harassment
Manage episode 284424353 series 2829045
With the Meesha Shafi harassment case against Ali Zafar back in the headlines this January, we wanted to take a moment to set aside the ‘who, what, why and when’ of the story and just reflect: How does this make us all feel? Why is this saga so difficult to talk about? Is there something about the Pakistani context that makes the situation especially confusing and triggering? Listen in and join the conversation.

About Modern Mazameen: Have you ever felt like there’s a lack of content and platforms that really speak to our values and mindsets as young Pakistanis? We did once. But when we started scratching the surface, it became clear that there was a lot out there – we just weren’t aware of it. Engaging with these conversations and communities has been incredibly helpful for us to develop our own perspectives and deepen our understanding of ‘mazameen’ (topics) that matter to us. Now, we want to bring them closer to others like us through this platform. We’re just getting started by launching our newsletter, along with our website and social media channels!
