NA slams social media abuse, demands crackdown on illegal sharing of women's images

Pakistan's National Assembly approved a resolution against immoral content distribution and unauthorized photo sharing of women on social media platforms. MNA Syeda Nosheen Iftikhar presented the measure during parliamentary proceedings. Lawmakers expressed concerns about mobile device misuse for recording individuals without consent. The resolution identifies such practices as constitutional violations that threaten human dignity and privacy rights. Assembly members called for enhanced enforcement of current legal frameworks.

The measure addresses blackmail, harassment, and misinformation campaigns targeting women through unauthorized recordings. Such activities create public safety concerns and discourage female participation in social spaces. Current laws like the PEMRA Act 2016 lack proper implementation despite existing legal protections. Investigation delays and weak punishment systems worsen the problem. Representatives described these actions as violations of Islamic principles and civilized society standards.

The resolution demands that federal authorities strengthen enforcement mechanisms under the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act. Parliament unanimously adopted the measure after the debate concluded.
