Published in News International's YOU on March 6, 2022, "The Patriarchal Privilege" explored how patriarchy shapes everyday life for women through victim blaming, control, and unequal social expectations. The article was written by Lubna Jerar Naqvi.
In the article, Sobia Rahman, Co-Founder and Program Director of Dr. Sofia's Daycare and Learning Center, shared her thoughts on how society is often quicker to question women than hold men accountable.
She spoke about how these attitudes are so normalised that many people do not even realise they are part of the problem. For her, the issue goes beyond laws because these mindsets start inside homes, families, and social conditioning.
She believes real change can only happen when people stop protecting harmful behaviour in the name of honour, culture, or tradition.
