Muslimah Media Watch
Muslimah Media Watch has reviewed us and seem to like what we’re doing. In their view:
Like every human being on this earth and every piece of writing they may produce, Chay magazine has its own perspective and agenda. And their agenda is clear - sex and sexuality are normal. Everyone experiences them. Not talking about such a central aspect of our lives is detrimental to the health of our society. Talking about the issues surrounding sex and our sexualities will make us better as a society. Considering Pakistani society has increasingly higher rates of violence against women perhaps confronting and talking about the issues in an open and frank forum will help stop and reverse the increasing numbers. Anything that can help at this point should be welcomed. Additionally, it would be welcoming to see this be a friendly arena for those of alternate sexualities to gain support from and educate others.
We are excited for the attention to our project as well as the discussion it has fostered on their own site. Check it out here. Particularly, take a look at their riff on why we called it “Chay”. Thanks for pointing to us, folks! And stay tuned.
