However much like any other incident when women are vocal, the protests were wrapped up in fake news and marred by hate. Especially since the Aurat March organizers were among the organizers of these anti-rape protests.
Sarah Khan targeted in a hate campaign
Some people can’t set aside differences even for a good cause. One person went as far as to photoshop Sarah Khan’s poster, making it appear vulgar and derogatory so that they can discredit the whole thing.
Here’s the authentic image:
And here’s the fake one:
Someone turned the Sabaat actress’s very potent and serious message into a cheap joke. Not only is this attempt to silence women, and misconstrue their protest as shameful, cheap stunts like these also reflects the sentiment of some people towards violent crimes like rape.

These people that think sexual violence against women is a laughing matter. Their only aim – to normalize harrowing crimes such as rape with humor.
The Alvida actress is unaware of how her message was deliberately sabotaged at this point. It is still yet to be seen if the actress will reach out to the concerned authorities to have the photoshopped image of the fake placard removed from online platforms.
Speaking of legal action, what would you do if you came to know of misinformation such as this? Would you report it? Let us know in the comments below.
well tbh; those posters are for people who are blessed with the ability to think, if a guy understands what they have written is the guy who already honors women and protects them. Like mahira’s poster says that a stranded or alone woman is a responsibility rather than opportunity, a rapist is a criminal beast , its like telling a hyena to not kill a fawn !
the only language they understand is the words of the gunpowder through the mouth of the gun!
Ya plzz take action against this photoshop person this is how shameful person.
