This article talks about changing men's behavior toward women in Pakistan. After the death of this social media icon who gained a fan base over the past few years, thanks to her resemblance to one of the Kardashians, some fans are surely wondering why she had to be killed. From what I understand, she was a bit like the Youtube DIY stars we see garnering so much attention online, but she happened to live in a country where here behavior was deemed unacceptable.
We should stop violence toward men and women, and especially focus on defending our citizens from attacks like this. Women who live in Pakistan face a different type of threat than women who live in the US, even though Australian women are more likely to be abducted than Australian men. In "first world" countries, we can expect to see crime. Why do men choose to commit violent crimes against women in third or second world countries, as compared to first world countries?

Ms. Baloch would probably have lived longer if laws in Pakistan punished men who employ violence toward women. She was a young ambitious woman who would have seen her dreams materialize if men around her respected her personal choices and refrained from judging her.
Women should not be required to apologize how they behave, what they wear or who they choose to marry.
Qandeel Baloch, 'Pakistan's Kim Kardashian,' Is KilledWomen in Pakistan have demonstrated extraordinary courage in recent years by standing up for their rights and to help fellow women. Malala Yousafzai, the teenage education activist, stood up against the Taliban when they were stopping girls from getting education and destroying their schools. Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, a two-time Emmy winner documentary moviemaker, used the power of films to tell the stories of women who had faced acid attacks and, more recently, the issue of honor killing. Threatened by the impact of these women’s remarkable work, powerful men regularly discredit these woman of change by calling them “foreign agents” who are allegedly motivated to tarnish “our national honor” to please “their western masters.”
