After the upheaval that followed Meesha Shafi’s allegations on singer Ali Zafar, several women have since stepped up to share their own experiences of sexual misconduct; and the list now has the name of Pakistan’s beloved Momina Mustehsan in it.

The Coke Studio star, jumping in on the #MeToo bandwagon took to Twitter to share that she too has been a victim of sexual abuse and the issue goes beyond genders and stands for the whole humanity.

"I too have been a subject of harassment, and this issue is bigger than just Ali Zafar. I personally stand to lose much more than I will ever gain, BUT this cause is greater than any one man or woman. It's about humanity and dignity, about equality and honor. I pray that people will stand by women who have been violated and victimized." she stated.

The extensive post, also called upon Ali Zafar along with other offenders to instill in themselves the courage of accepting their slip-ups, subsequently bringing forth another trend of #ImSorry in the face of #MeToo.

"I stand by all the women who have had to deal with inappropriate behavior of any sort. It's time Pakistani women are able to stand up and hold their oppressors accountable, no matter how strong or influential they are. Don’t be scared. They are strong because we are weak - lets change that. Speak up, stand up. Call a spade a spade. And it's definitely time Pakistani men stood up for our women. I hope all the men reading this agree that harassment of any form is NOT OKAY," she further added in the note.
