Pakistani actress Yashma Gill has never shied away from vocalizing her opinion and this time around the actress shared her two cents on sexual harassment.
Getting candid about the regurgitated theory, the Pyar ke Sadqay actress reinstated that violence is not a phenomenon bound by gender and anyone can face the brutal reality of this evil.
Turning to her Instagram handle, Gill urged her followers to accept that men are and can be victims of sexual violence too. “While boys and men are a large majority of perpetrators of violence, they are victims of violence too, Males are often bashed up, bullied and sexually assaulted.”

Furthermore, he did not hold back while highlighting the dilemmas in our densely patriarchal society and the constant narrative that has been enforced in the minds of the general public that male abuse is rare and controlled.
