Sharmeen in most of her works highlights the inequality with women which was prevailed in her society. Many people arued that why don't see highlights the positivity in her work, why only she takes problems into consideration.
Production- Marketting Gimmick
These questions can be answered in cultural studies in the context of Production. Sharmeen is aware about the current situation and what is needed in market. She not only highlights the suffering of women but she much aware about the fact that now a days feminism was in prevailing position and the voice in favor of feminism definitely discussed in society. These type of writers are inviting negative comments as for their publicity. This can be one of the reason.
Freedom of Expression
The writer has full freedom of expression. They can write whatever they want, we don't have right to questions their choice of material. Sharmeen's films are about truly heroic pakistani women. we should celebrate them, not to try to hide them away like a shameful act. It is believed that because of Sharmeen's effort the law on honour killing is being revived in Pakistani.
Nawaz Sharif say that the practice of honour killing in Pakistan should come to an end. He speaks this lines because of the buzz around Sharmeen's film which prompted for honour killing.
Humanities under threat
Many types of problems were discussed in different literary text or work of art, but the real problem is that it was not put in practices. Even if Sharmeen speaks about the suffering of women in society, these practices should not be discarded properly without the proper knowledge and awareness about the fact.
Even Malala yousafzai, Pakistani activist also speaks about the womes right for education and this idea was also much celebrated and she is the youngest poet Laureate.
Politics
Sharmeen speaks against the male dominant society, against power, but somehow governed by institution also, there is always politics in power, when someone was come in power they use it in negative way. Sharmeen's work was much appereciated only because it was liked by the potical party.
At last I wants to say that L am in favor of freedom of expression but who is getting reward, who is belongs to rich class, whether she is also treated as a victim or not, she is writing about whom, about which class of womens. These all questions also muct be taken into consideration. We have to think about both the aspects. Marketing is also means of production, whether it is negative or positive.
