You’re right Suzie, William and Kate’s visit is a drop in the ocean really when we look at the terrible injustices perpetrated on women and girls in Pakistan, and the human rights issues in the country. I just hope it does some good, maybe the drip by drip approach. The whole country needs to be dragged into the 21st century re women’s rights, but that’s not going to happen. We are so lucky to be living in the west, we still have groups of men rapists, we still have inequality in salaries, but women and girls do enjoy equality in the west. Sadly some people who have come to live have brought their appalling attitudes with them, and as a result we also have ‘honour’ killings (dishonour in my opinion) and forced marriage, not to mention FGM. There is a long way to go in Pakistan, but we must not be complacent here in the UK.
