Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Though social media has boosted millions of opportunities for most, we cannot deny the impact of cyberbullying prevailing online. What would you like to say about that? Provide 5 suggestions to today’s girls and women to handle such cases?
Ms. Reham Khan:
This is certainly a huge issue. Me and my girls have been victims of targeted attacks by organised, paid social media lobbies for three years now. I tried reporting this initially, but the laws are poor and hard to implement. Sadly, all we could do was develop thick skins.
I would advise all young girls to not get obsessed with social media. Use should be limited in order to lead a healthy lifestyle, but if you must use it then don’t read comments. Post what you want to and stop obsessing over what people are saying. Cyberbullies are even bigger cowards than bullies at school or in the workplace. As with all bullies, the best thing is to ignore them. Do not be affected by their hate. Don’t let anyone wipe your smile off. Keep smiling and soldier on. Their comments do not, and should not matter.
In the meantime, I think we need to develop a strong voice against cyberbullying. Women need to unite to address the issue and demand better laws. We should always report it and get friends and family to report the offending accounts too. Taking screenshots and building evidence is also a good idea. If you know who it could be, then sharing that information with authorities can sometimes be helpful. I found that to be the case in Britain.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Being a successful journalist, what would be your smart tips, any 5 for an aspiring female journalist who wishes to join this industry?
Ms. Reham Khan:
First of all, learn to use the phone to build contacts. If you are afraid to pick up the phone, or have an awkward phone manner, you will struggle.
Secondly, know the subject inside out. You should know your questions but more importantly, you should know their answers. Be prepared.
Thirdly, never accept a job if you feel uncomfortable. If you sense sleaze, run a mile. Never accept it. You will go far because of your ability, not because of your feminine charms.
Fourthly, develop a confident persona so people treat you as an equal. It can often be your mindset that limits you.
And finally, never ever give up. If you fail at something, just learn to do it differently next time. If you don’t get something, ask for feedback. There is a better job waiting for you, but you have to be ready for it. It is never too late to achieve your dreams.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Women Fitness works relentlessly with a goal to reach out to women all over the world providing them with best in health, fitness, nutrition, beauty & fashion. What do you wish to say about the website (Womenfitness.net) and message for our readers?
Ms. Reham Khan:
It is incredibly important to stay physically and mentally fit to survive in this world. Look after yourself first, and only then can you be a good mother, a good worker, and a good partner. Happy people are healthier people. It is no good hitting the gym to attain the perfect body if you have low self-esteem issues.
You can’t look beautiful if you can’t smile, and you can’t smile if you are stressed. Learn to be happy with who you are and everything will be easier to cope with. Women must support each other so we can build our numbers in the workplace, and in the Houses of Parliament, so our voice is stronger. Forums like Women Fitness play a very important role in achieving that goal. My best wishes to the entire team and the readers for a super fit and glorious future ahead. Together, we will make it happen.
