Characters may be fictional, but their words have a way of sticking with us, guiding us, and sometimes even changing the way we see ourselves. So, this Women’s Day, we did something special—we asked the writers behind these unforgettable characters to speak through them.
What would they say to women today? How would they empower, uplift, or challenge us? Their responses will remind you why we fell in love with these characters in the first place.
Allah Rakhi’s message, as penned by writer Amna Mufti of DNUTN
Life is full of wonder. Every child who enters this world experiences it, but some spend their entire lives trying to make sense of it, questioning whether the world is nothing more than a complex puzzle.
Some, like me, search for answers and venture far in the process, while others never question anything at all.
Ask questions—just like Allah Rakhi did. She was just a girl, yet she was sold as if she were nothing more than an object.
Speak up against human trafficking. A woman is a priceless gift from God; she should never be bought or sold.
Make a promise that you will never allow an Allah Rakhi around you to be treated this way.
Freeya’s message, as penned by writer Parisa Siddiqui of Burns Road Kay Romeo Juliet.
Love yourself fiercely. Be yourself unapologetically. To the fearless hearts who stand tall for what they believe in—we don’t just break barriers; we build new worlds with our love and strength.
Keep shining, Freeya!
Ana’s message, as penned by writer Radain Shah of Dunyapur.
Every man in this world is brought into existence by a woman—by his mother.
We have left our footprints on time itself. We have carved our way through the darkness and journeyed toward the light. Yet, the road ahead remains long. But remember, it lies beneath your feet.
There will be obstacles. Thorns will pierce your path. Those who seem stronger than you will falter before you.
But strength is not measured by the destination—it is measured by resilience. And no one possesses the resilience that you do.
So fight. Soar. The world is beneath your feet.
Nashwa’s Message , as penned by writer Rabia Razzak of Qarz-e-Jaan
Dreaming is essential—but not just any dreams, the kind that keep you awake at night. It’s not enough to simply dream; those dreams must be pursued and brought to life. Turning them into reality is the hardest part, filled with challenges and setbacks, but giving up is never the answer.
Speaking up is just as important. Believing that no one will listen is the wrong mindset. Even if only one person hears, every voice matters. Change begins with those who dare to speak.
Happy Women’s Day! This Day is a celebration of every fight fought in silence, every dream nurtured in the face of doubt, and every step taken toward a better tomorrow. It’s a tribute to the strength that lives in kindness, the courage found in vulnerability, and the quiet power of never giving up. No matter how heavy the world feels, remember—you are seen, you are valued, and you are enough. Keep rising, keep shining, and never forget that the world is brighter because you are in it.
