Pakistani celebrities have voiced support for news anchor Meher Bokhari after she urged parents to teach their sons the difference between right and wrong, stressing that conversations about puberty, sexual activity and urges should not be treated as taboo.<\/p>\n
Bokhari shared a video on Instagram in which she criticised a culture that normalises rape and murder in Pakistan, arguing that parents often avoid discussing sexuality, puberty and desires with their children.<\/p>\n
She acknowledged that parents cannot be held entirely responsible for their children\u2019s actions, but said they nevertheless have a responsibility to teach them how to distinguish right from wrong and to \u201cabsorb better things\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cA few years back, a girl in a posh school went to use the bathroom. The seniors gave the maid in the bathroom money and refused anyone from entering for one hour while they raped her. Posh school, educated people, right?\u201d she said, recalling the alleged incident in Lahore.<\/p>\n
