In a series of Instagram stories, Aima Baig shared that her Umrah experience had fortified her resolve to address the pervasive issues faced by women in the entertainment industry. She wrote, “After performing my Umrah – so peacefully and to be honest I needed it so badly and it made me so strong because I know I had to do this for the betterment and the empowerment of our country’s women.”

Baig revealed that she had long been aware of “certain predators – cheaters – users – ruining minor to aged girls” but had remained silent, a decision she now regrets. While she clarified that she was not necessarily speaking about herself as a victim, Baig emphasized that her focus was on the women around her who have been affected by these issues.

Expressing deep concern over the normalization of cheating and the exploitation of women’s naivety and innocence, Baig stated, “It’s like cheating has become a norm and using women for their naivety, innocence, lack of sophistication is a joke.” In another post, she officially announced her intention to start a #MeToo movement in Pakistan, emphasizing the prevalence of such issues.

She highlighted, “Because I have had it happening around me way too much. Us women are no joke – we gave these men the existence and one must value and respect that.” Recognizing her influential position, Baig urged all women to acknowledge and address what she described as an “ongoing fun thing for men.” She pointed out the mental and physical depression experienced by young, unaware women due to these risks.
