She added, "Time for women to define our own narrative. We will not be bullied into silence. We will accept no one’s definition of our life, but our own. But men also have an important role to play in sending out the message that real men do not hurt or abuse their partners."
Hayat went on to add that the laws against women abuse are there but the implementation of those laws is imperative.
