Abstract

This study dives into the mind-boggling landscape of transnational women's freedom, a study on women's activist talk inside electronic media in Pakistan. It looks at how women's activist stories are formed and reshaped across public limits in the computerized age, with specific accentuation on the discourses of Asma Jahangir. Her strong advocacy for women's rights, justice, and equality is investigated to understand how it resounds inside various socio-social settings to worldwide women's activist developments. Utilizing a multi-system approach that incorporates content examination, crowd overviews, and top-to-bottom meetings with key media figures and women's activist activists, the review uncovers the many-sided subtleties and inconsistencies in the enunciation of women's activist thoughts in Pakistan's electronic media. The discoveries feature how transnational women's activist practices challenge and change customary orientation standards while confronting opposition and co-optation in the nearby setting. Asma Jahangir's talk play had an immediate impact in engaging women and affecting popular assessment on orientation equality, frequently filling in as an impetus for grassroots women's activist developments.
