A Gen-Z protest, mobilized largely through social media, successfully forced the Institute of Business Management (IoBM) in Karachi to reinstate a female student who had been expelled. The student was allegedly penalized by the administration after she attempted to file a harassment complaint against a staff member. Following a large-scale student demonstration and the threat of a larger protest outside the varsity, the university reversed its decision. This incident, which created a storm on social media, highlights the power of collective digital action in advocating for student rights and demonstrates the urgent need for universities to reform and strengthen their internal harassment complaint mechanisms.
