BUITEMS Session Quetta

May 26, 2016

Hamara Internet visited the Balochistan University of Information Technology, Engineering and Management Sciences on the 26th of May. This was our first workshop in Quetta and what an amazing energy it was, girls and women in the audience shared what cyber harassment meant to them and how they’ve started fighting back. During our workshop, we had the pleasure of introducing Shazia Ahmed Longove – who spoke to the audience about her participation in the political spaces in Quetta. She stressed that the inclusion of women and girls was not something that we could be expected to be handed over, nor could we try to segregate completely – and instead we had to learn to pave roads that don’t exist and take what is rightfully ours as women and minorities. Shazia stressed that it is important that we work in ways that ultimately unify and not divide – be it online spaces or physical spaces.
