In 2001, realizing that sexual harassment was one of the major blocks for women’s path to social development and self-empowerment and not willing to accept the situation as well as the web of myths and lies around sexual harassment any further, Fouzia Saeed decided to talk to some like-minded people to develop a major initiative in this field. It was clear that the issue was too big to be handled by one organisation or a few individuals.
Dr. Fouzia Saeed, a social scientist with a PhD from the University of Minnesota, is the author of “Taboo! The Hidden Culture of a Red Light Area,” based on 8 years of field research among prostitutes in Pakistan.
