TW: Hara**ment
ARY airing a drama (DUNK) about false allegations of harassment claiming to raise awareness about false allegations as if most of our public doesnt already dismiss 90% of the cases by labelling them false.
This drama will further the insensitive narrative created by our misogynistic society and its predators that girls do it for attention or out of frustration when they dont get something.
What the makers of this drama are willingly ignoring is how this will silence the survivors.
Fahad Mustafa claims he wanted to produce this drama because every narrative matters. How about you make dramas about harassment at workplace, home, tuition centres, schools, hospitals, shopping malls, madrasas, by relatives, teachers, fathers, husbands
How about you show those narratives. How about you make 99 dramas about the 99% of the cases that arent false before you represent this 1% narrative.
Just like meray pas tum ho, dunk will be capitalising on our misogynistic society that already loves to blame the survivors. It will only add more hurdles for them to report these incidents.
This is Fahad Mustafa, the producer of this show. Someone who encourages brands to work with alleged harassers.
