To hell with days;

Why should I celebrate international days? I should celebrate it because of the international gratitude’s. In my country everyone talks but no one bothers about the human rights. Either it is about the rights of the vulnerable masses (women, children). They celebrate international days; for aid and appreciation of western world. In my country where few know, Pakistan is signatory of the UN convention of Childs right. Many children are becoming victims of the societal injustice and violence. Same is the case with women. So why should I celebrate these days where there is no tolerance for women. Where still women are buried alive and murdered with brutality. Where many women are victim of Wani, kara kari etc. Moreover where women don`t even have the right to chose a husband. Also have no right of showing dissent for doing sex with her husband. Where even a female prime minister had not passed any bill for women`s right. Where in assembly women only talk about makeup and ban of `star plus`. Where on TV women is show piece. Either on ramp, dramas and print media. Even after passing the bill for women’s security still women are unsafe. If a woman disobeys the so-called norms of society then people call them rebellion. Where smoking and dating is considered unethical only for women. So why I should celebrate women ‘s day?
