Zahra Haider, the 20-something Pakistani girl whose article about her own experiences with sex in her country went viral, joined The Quint for a Facebook Live from Toronto, Canada where she now lives. She spoke about how her father has disowned her after the article (though her mother and many others continue to support her), the abuse she received on social media and the dreaded ‘f’ word – feminism.
