It was a Saturday night when it fell down in buckets in Lahore. Cool wind at long last assuming control over the searing warmth came up with for a rationalization to go out and appreciate minus all potential limitations. With such a terrific change in climate, it was necessary for my significant other and I to drive out into the city around midnight and be diverted by the charming vibe.

Indeed, even at that hour, streets were brimming with movement. Trees were whirling in the breezy breeze. Diners along the street were stick stuffed with individuals; all things considered, Lahoris are known to appreciate sustenance like none other. Young men in gatherings could be seen driving around, hanging out on the streets, holding up in lines at oil siphons and so forth. At the point when our vehicle entered H Block, which is a broadly mainstream put in Defense known for its numerous eateries, I was shocked I saw there weren't any ladies to be discovered adjacent.

Following a long sweltering day, the climate was at last excellent and I however everybody would appreciate the charming environment. Notwithstanding, in the wake of seeing no ladies on the streets, I began reconsidering the whole progressing discussion on sexual orientation balance. While some may differ with me and term this as close to home decision or point the finger at it on the late hour, it was to a great degree pitiful to see young men hanging out in gatherings while young ladies were absent from the image. I would have wanted to see young ladies hooting in joy, their hair influencing in the breeze while they trusted that their nourishment will arrive. All things considered, who does not have any desire to go out with their family or companions when the climate requests it?

Be that as it may, I was helped to remember the severe truth by and by when my better half prevented me from venturing out of the vehicle, while he remained outside with our baby snuggled up in his arms sitting tight for sustenance. I was limited to the vehicle since it was more fitting for ladies to sit inside than meander around in the midst of a male group. This was the moment that I understood that notwithstanding when young ladies are out with their families, they need to pursue certain 'rules' in view of men out and about. Presently envision how confined they would be the point at which they are driving alone, attempting to recover open space.

When I read about the Women on Wheels activity, I was energized at the possibility of ladies presently riding bicycles out and about and how this would before long transform into basic practice. I envisioned the dupattas and shirts vacillating as ladies advanced through the movement.

In any case, let's face it, with the kind of mindset and conduct on the streets, is it even safe for a young lady to be free and herself out there? While lewd behavior and unseemly conduct is generally anticipated from the unskilled of the general public, the purported taught tribe is no better. They click pictures of ladies riding bicycles and basically grin on the insignificant notice of ladies strengthening. In such a general public, by what means will ladies ever be free?

That day, my apprehensions turned genuine when out of nowhere I at last observed a young lady driving a vehicle. She ceased just alongside our vehicle and I could advise that she was between 25 to 30 years old and was joined by three other ladies. It was mitigating to see this and in my mind I was at long last calm that the circumstance maybe isn't as terrible.

Be that as it may, as my expectations began to develop, they were quickly broken when I perceived how those young ladies were gazed at, whistled, and after that pursued the minute they ventured out of the vehicle. These harassers weren't retailers or rickshaw drivers; they were fortunate developed men in rich vehicles. As my significant other came back with the nourishment, my rage took the better of me and I requesting that he intercede. He advised me that it was not our issue and that it was past the point of no return for young ladies to venture out alone in any case.
