Lifebuoy Shampoo announced its partnership with The Citizens Foundation (TCF) to facilitate education for 10,000 girls across Pakistan at an exclusive Press Conference which was held at the TCF school in Korangi on Wednesday, 16th October 2019.

Having collaborated with TCF last year, the idea behind the renewed engagement is to raise and create awareness about Girl Child Education in Pakistan on a much larger scale.

This vision is powered by insights that indicate that every second girl in Pakistan is out of school. Recognizing the value that can be unlocked by addressing this challenge, Lifebuoy Shampoo is working to secure a better future for girls in Pakistan by raising awareness and enabling their access to education.

Citizens can join hands with Lifebuoy Shampoo and TCF in this effort to raise awareness for Girl Child Education by sharing this message through Lifebuoy Shampoo’s Film “Beti Parhao Usse Mazboot Banao” on Facebook or YouTube.

Lifebuoy Shampoo will also engage rural communities through meaningful content around the subject to encourage an open mind towards female education and drive an upward shift in girls’ enrollment across Pakistan.

Asima Haq, Director – Beauty and Personal Care, Unilever Pakistan, expressed her commitment to the cause, saying;

For the last few years, Lifebuoy Shampoo has been talking about raising stronger daughters. In 2018, we embarked on a journey to leverage education as a key enabler to raise stronger daughters in Pakistan.

This year we are committed to making a bigger impact by not only raising awareness for girl child education but also recruiting more girls into the education system by partnering with TCF.

We strongly believe that by educating a girl you open up possibilities of a better future not only for her but also for her family.

Syed Asaad Ayub Ahmad, CEO, The Citizens Foundation, also shared his views on the partnership;

Our organization seeks to address the massive challenge of illiteracy in Pakistan, and every day we witness how educating girls can unlock economic empowerment and wellbeing for entire households and inspire communities around them.

I encourage everyone to join hands with us and help raise strong educated daughters who can secure the growth for our country.

Lifebuoy Shampoo is encouraging people around the country to participate and support in raising awareness for Girl Child Education by sharing the message “Beti Parhao Usse Mazboot Banao”

Mansha Pasha

Social media is loving the Royal Couple’s Royal Visit in Pakistan.

Everyone applauded the fact that Kate Middleton’s designer kept Pakistan’s traditions and culture in mind wearing as she donned Eastern wear throughout.

However, netizens were also quick to point fingers and bash Pakistani actresses who have switched to western outfits.

Mansha Pasha called out the dual standards of social media clarifying that actors and actresses do not abandon their cultures when they wear western clothes.

She wrote:

Are Pakistani men also “abandoning their culture” and “supporting non Muslim values” when they wear jeans and a shirt since that is also a Western outfit?

When will the day come when women dont have to carry the burden of culture, religion, honor, representation?

She also added:

Neither is culture nor religion nor honor nor representation a burden. It is a gift.

But when one is killed for honor, criticised for what they wear or how they practise  religion – it becomes a yardstick by which to judge ppl, to isolate or humilate them.

mansha pasha

Mansha’s messages clarify that religion and cultures cannot change with a person’s clothing. She adds that we are too quick to judge others and leave out ourselves because we think we cannot commit any wrong-doings.

According to a letter received by Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) all vehicles made by Sazgar will be sold under the name ‘BAIC’.

Company secretary Arshad Mahmood in an official notification last year to PSX announced the completion of Sazgar automobile assembly plant.

He wrote:

The project will be completed by June 30, 2019 while the plant would have a production capacity of 24,000 units per annum

Now, photos of the highly anticipated Sazgar BAIC D20 Hatchback have surfaced. A right-hand-drive BAIC D20 hatchback was spotted by DemLahoriGuys at Emporium Mall.

BAIC has acquired a 5% stake in Daimler AG. Daimler also holds a 9.55% stake in BAIC as well as a 3.01% interest in BAIC BluePark New Energy Technology company.

According to the  MTMIS website, the price of the BAIC D20 hatchback is PKR 18lac, however, we still have to see what official price Sazgar will quote in the markets.

#MeToo: Ali Zafar Must File a Response to Meesha’s Defamation Suit by Today!

On October 11th, Ali Zafar took to his Twitter account to announce that Meesha Shafi’s case had been dismissed at the court.

Calling Shafi an opportunist who made fake allegations, Ali claimed that a precedent had been set by him and his team through this case.

He had always maintained that, due to people like Shafi, genuine cases of the #MeToo movement suffer while the fake ones benefit wrongly from it.

Ali and his wife, Ayesha Fazli also mentioned in their respective tweets that soon they will put out the evidence publicly for everyone to see and learn from.

Many of the rock star’s fans and followers began celebrating the ‘victory’.

 

However, soon after, the other side of the story emerged. The side that nobody shed any light on earlier.

It turns out that Ali Zafar has not been declared guilty in the court. Instead, the court has dismissed the case on the matter of legal jurisdiction, which means the ombudsperson does not have the jurisdiction to hear the case.

Sadly, because it was filed as a case of harassment during work, the court simply said that workplace harrassment does not apply to Meesha and Ali’s case as they weren’t working as ’employees’ of the same company.

It simply sounds like there is no sexual harassment law in place to protect women who are self employed.

However, Meesha’s defamation suit on Ali is still there, unresolved, as Ali’s lawyer did not respond to it at the hearing.

Hence, October 17th (today) is the last day for Ali and his team to file a response to it.

Social Media is Curious About Bushra Bibi’s Absence During the Royal Couple’s Pakistan Tour

royal couple meet imran khan

The nation is abuzz with excitement and chatter ever since the royal couple, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrived in Pakistan for their official visit.

From their clothes, to their schedule to their meetings and the rickshaw they arrived in to visit the Pakistan monument , every single thing is being discussed.

On October 15th, the royal couple visited the official residence of Imran Khan.

Photos and videos of them meeting and interacting with the Prime Minister were all over social media:

However, Pakistanis cannot help but notice that Bushra Bibi is nowhere to be seen in the photos.

Considering how significant her place is, social media seems a little disappointed in not being able to see her participation in international tours and other such affairs.

Some think she is being kept away due to the fear of being criticized for her veil, while others think it is by her own choice that she remains to be unseen in these events.

 

Amidst all this criticism, many Pakistanis have spoken in favor of her.

They are of the opinion that she should be entitled to her own choice, even if there is a religious reason behind it.

Moreover, some have also pointed out that if the public expects her to show up and participate because she is the First Lady, they are wrong.

She is not the First Lady, Dr. Arif Alvi’s wife is, as he is the President of Pakistan and he WAS present alongside his wife to meet and greet the royal couple.

If the crime is committed on social media, then PTA refers the case to the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) for criminal proceedings.

To combat this menace, continuous and collective efforts are required as the millions of webpages are being uploaded on the internet on a daily basis,

No Layoff of Employees Despite a Slowdown in Production: IMC

Indus Motor Company (IMC) has announced that it will not layoff its employees despite the downfall in production or sales.

An IMC spokesperson shared that the entire country is experiencing an economic downfall and markets have remained volatile due to this.

They added this has been a great struggle for many. Rupee depreciation, reduction in car financing, increase in federal excise duties (FED) and higher input costs added to the struggles.

They further shared that despite this, the company has decided not to layoff employees.

The country is going through an economic slowdown and the overall market has remained volatile. This has indeed been a great struggle.

The factors largely contributing to this include rupee depreciation, reduction in car financing, increase in federal excise duties (FED) and higher input costs. Yet, we have decided not to go for layoffs despite the hard times. We are absorbing this financial crunch.

The IMC spokesperson added that the rupee has depreciated over 31.6%. On the other hand, the Pakistani government has imposed 7% additional conveyance duties, 3% additional sales tax on imports and 2.5%-7.5% FED on various engine capacity vehicles.

Thus, a major decline has been witnessed for the past few months in many sectors especially the automotive market.

Burger Advertisement Sparks Uproar on Social Media!

Once upon a time many years ago, advertisements were very different from the ones we see today. They objectified women, stereotyped men, and were just too much to digest.

Now that brands have realized they do not need all these elements anymore, they are bringing amazing ads touching on emotions and beautiful lessons.

However, there are still some who have not learned that there are some things that should never be done. One such brand is Bicky Burger, a Belgian hamburger brand.

The Belgium advertising regulator shared that they have received hundreds of complaints against the chain for marketing a man hitting a woman for serving him the wrong sandwich.

Even politicians along with the consumers have called out the brand for sick advertisement, claiming that the brand is irresponsible and is promoting domestic violence.

Goodlife Foods, the Dutch producer of Bicky Burger, apologized on Wednesday to all those who were offended by its advertising campaign.

We do not want to promote violence against women and strongly condemn it. We condemn any kind of violence.

This was not the angle of the post. Within the context of the brand, the target group, and the media channel, the goal is to say that selling or buying fake Bicky’s is not done. -Marketeer Tom Sevens to Het Nieuwsblad

In 2016, Bicky ran another campaign which also came into question when the company launched an advertisement with a nod to Alzheimer’s patients. “Being able to eat a Bicky every half hour without feeling guilty, there is at least one advantage,” the advertisement said.

Pepsi Black rap battle

Young Stunners won the hearts of the youth with popular hits like Burger-e-Karachi, Laam se Chaura, Maila Majnu, and many more.

The boys earned name and fame in a very short span of time. However, when the rappers announced that they are parting ways, social media felt the tremors.

YouTuber, Irfan Junejo ( who also happens to be a fan of the rap band ) stepped in and told the boys to solve their problems with a battle – but of another type! He proposed a rap battle to settle things once and for all.

Pepsi Black took on the initiative to bring together the young influencers for the ultimate rap challenge in which Irfan Junejo collaborated with the Young Stunners for the first time on-screen.

The campaign video starts with some shots of the Kot Lakhpat Railway Station, Lahore and we catch a glimpse of Junejo gulping down some Pepsi Black to start the battle.

The Young Stunners then take each other on face-to-face. Talha Anjum starts off by saying ‘Tu sure hai? Tu karna chahta hai battle rap! Kha jata rappers mein, need me a Pepsi Black, back to back yeh train unstoppable, rap ek phenomena and mein hun phenomenal’.

To this, Younus replies; ‘One in a billion koi mukabla nahin janta hai, bache yeh lafz nahi chanta hai, tera har ek banda mujhe janta hai, legend manta hai, tu bhalay karak logon ke liye, andar se dhancha hai’.

https://youtu.be/K78ip-VjGzA

Together the boys called out all the rappers in Pakistan who think they have what it takes to be the next sensation to express their stories through their own words. The challenge is for everyone, from the youth to the ladies.

Pepsi has been one of the leading brands in Pakistan to support music and Pepsi Black now provides a platform for talented individuals to make a name for themselves.

The time your baby naps or goes to sleep can be a relaxing time for you and your little one, however, the process of getting your baby to sleep can be very tiring and stressful.

It takes a while for newborns to develop a sleep schedule, but once they do and get a little older, the sleep timing typically lengthens and becomes more predictable, making your life easy.

“Newborns bring two things:

1) lot’s of joy
2) little sleep.”

The “Baby Protocol” shown in this video plays a lullaby, darkens windows, sets ambient lights and starts active body control which makes the car act as a rocking chair.

The feature is not available in Mercedes-Benz vehicles at this point in time, but all of the features are available individually, according to the official website.

If there is one thing Karachi could use more of, it is parks.

More parks mean more trees and more fun, which means a better climate and better ways to spend your leisure time.

So there’s good news for the fresh air and park lovers of Karachi:

The Karachi Metropolitan Corporation plans to start renovation work at the Ahmed Ali Park (popularly known as the Kidney Hill Park), after retrieving 20 acres of encroached land.

Which means, you will all soon have an all new recreational park to walk, play, and just breathe in in Bahadurabad near the Karachi Cooperative Housing Society.

Here’s what Bashir Siddiqui, KMC Anti-Encroachment Department Senior Director, told SAMAA Digital that the Supreme Court:

Around 20 acres of the park’s land was encroached by the Kokan Cooperative Housing Society. It claimed that the land belonged to the society. They moved the Sindh High Court on the matter,”

The KMC has demolished 17 bungalows constructed on the park’s premises. Three of them were under construction.

“If the Supreme Court did not intervene, the entire park would have been converted into a residential scheme,”

Over 3,000 saplings of different species will be planted at different parts of the park. The park will also have a jogging track and sewerage treatment plants.
