“The prayer is severed by a woman, a dog and a donkey.”

March 23rd - World Atheist Day

As my placard from this year's Aurat march has gone viral, I want to share the story of my mother. It's not the story of an individual; it is the story of millions of women in Pakistan and around the globe. When my mom was 10 years old, she was fond of reading and writing and wanted to go to school like her brothers. One day, she expressed her desire to her grandmother, who agreed and purchased a "Takhti" for her. My mom went to school for one or two days, and when she returned home, she cleaned her "Takhti" with mud so she could use it again the next day.

One day, a relative who was a Molvi and member of a religious political party of Maulana Fazal Rehman, came to visit their home. He saw my mom's Takhti and asked her grandmother about it. She told him that it belonged to her granddaughter, who goes to school and wants to learn. The Molvi became infuriated when he heard this and said that there was no need for girls to study, as it was against their culture and religious values. He claimed that if she learned to write, she would write letters to other men and violate the honor of their family. From that day, she was never allowed to go to school. Whenever my mom tells me this story, I can see the tears and helplessness in her eyes, which breaks my heart, but I can't do anything to help her. Her dreams were shattered, and she was deprived of the fundamental right to education, with no one to assist her. This still happens in Pakistan and around the world today, where women's basic rights are taken away because of their gender, and nobody seems to care. That's why I decided to carry this banner on International Women's Day, so that no other women would be treated like this.
