BBC She series in Pakistan
In winter 2018, I produced a month-long series under the title of “BBC She”. This campaign was introduced to increase the outreach of women’s voices from the grassroots of Pakistan. In the first phase of the campaign, our team went to four different cities in each province of Pakistan to talk to young university students.
This series ran simultaneously on BBC Urdu and BBC Hindi.
During these hour-long townhall style discussions, we got to hear some very smart, confident and fierce women. Here are the condensed version of discussions from each city.
Episode 1: Quetta, Balochistan
Episode 2: Larkana, Sindh
Episode 3: Abbotabad, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
Episode 4: Lahore, Punjab
Anti-Dowry Campaign in Pakistan
UN Women Pakistan launched a campaign called #JahezKhoriBandKaro. For BBC Urdu, I reached out to the people around Islamabad and Rawalpindi to ask their opinion on the custom of dowry and the criticism that this campaign has been receiving.
Also ran on BBC Hindi and BBC Punjabi.
