There are some women on the ballot this election year. Women's rights and respect should be a topic every election in Pakistan.

...In contrast, (click here) when Meesha Shafi spoke up about Ali Zafar sexually harassing her, she was witch-hunted till she had to deactivate her Instagram account, and was a recipient of more abuse than support. There was nothing that was not questioned about her; men and women on social, electronic and print media assassinated her character left, right and centre....
Evidently, Pakistani men are studied up on what is occurring with #MeToo. The men are marching forward with full self-righteousness in sexual assault and sexual harassment. The worst of it seems to be 80 college co-eds that were sexually assaulted while taking an exam. Evidently, the professor did think an academic exam was in order so much as a physical exam.
To the right is the Facebook entry regarding the sexual assault and harassment.
...She is not alone, 79 other girls have also allegedly been harassed by him and 18 of them have recorded their testimonies online.

“After I was done writing I visually realised a hand was extending to my chest.”
Let that sink in. Eighty girls no older than 18 were sexually harassed by their invigilator. Current and former students of other universities and schools, including the prestigious Army Public School, have come forward and narrated similar incidences.

I don't expect a USA Congressperson to bring about a lawsuit within Pakistan on behalf of the women, but, perhaps during this election in Pakistan a high profile interview in the USA about the movement here and how it has changed the esteem of American women would result in awareness within the political races of women that want respect, instead of intimidation to receive good grades.
Molesting 80 co-eds not more than 18 years old is outrageous and I don't know how this professor has gotten away with it. I can only imagine what the price would be like for them if they didn't have a woman professor in the room as well.
If the professor is so inclined to seek sexual pleasures, perhaps watching Pakistan porn would work well for him and leave his students alone.
The question a year ago that spawned this article is, "Will pornography create more freedom in Pakistan?"

...This scene, (click here) courtesy of Zofeen Ebrahim from Le Temps, was the description of an adult movie house in one of the most unlikely places in the world: Peshawar, the capital of the most conservative province in Pakistan. The men (and some women), she says, are "watching a porn film, right under the nose of the religious political parties, the Taliban and the government."...
