Social Media’s Negative Effects on Women’s Honor Highlight Need for Protections
Social media has become an integral part of daily life, but it has also had a significant negative impact on women’s modesty and social values. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter have opened up new avenues for global connectivity but have also deeply influenced women’s personal lives.
Experts have highlighted how inappropriate and sensationalized content about women on social media affects their dignity and self-esteem. Offensive posts, images, and videos not only harm women’s honor but also cause them emotional stress. Viral indecent content often pressures young girls and women to conform by sharing similar material, damaging their personal lives and sense of self-worth.
Experts Urge Collaborative Efforts to Combat Social Media’s Harmful Impact on Women
To tackle these issues, experts emphasize the need for greater protections and appropriate content for women on social media. Parents and teachers are urged to guide women about the harmful effects of these platforms, promoting their safe and positive use. Many women have called for enhanced online privacy and security measures, urging social media companies to take more action to protect their dignity and modesty.
Educational institutions across Pakistan have conducted workshops and seminars to raise awareness among youth about the benefits and risks of social media. Experts warn that failure to curb its negative effects could lead to serious consequences for societal ethics and women’s honor. Collaborative efforts from the government, social media platforms, and community organizations are vital to making social media safer and more beneficial for women.
Workshops and Awareness Campaigns Address Social Media Ethics and Challenges
Additionally, broader societal and religious issues demand understanding and action. While Islamic teachings grant men certain privileges, including the allowance of four marriages, proper application of these principles is often overlooked in society. Scholars and the government must play an essential role in educating and guiding the youth—who make up 60% of Pakistan’s population—towards addressing these issues effectively and responsibly.
