Answer and Explanation:

Pakistan today has severely repressed and punished women. This is because the country was dominated by the Taliban, which imposes a very sexist and oppressive position in society, in relation to women. In this way, women are diminished, forbidden to study, work, sexually repressed and punished for any behavior considered incorrect by the Taliban. Within this context, Kishwar Naheed's poem highlights how women have been judged as sinners, for behaviors that protect them from this type of reality. The poem reinforces the idea that even with this oppression and judgment women are strong and it is this strength that many try to hold back.

This poem addresses a current social issue, addressing a minority that is marginalized indiscriminately and without just reasons, which is common in contemporary literature.
