A Pakistani father fearing for his daughter’s safety allegedly made her wear a surveillance camera on her head so he could keep an eye on her.

There is nothing a good parent won’t do to ensure their child’s safety! For example, one Pakistani man recently went viral on X (Twitter) for installing a surveillance camera on his young daughter’s head so he could monitor her activities throughout that day and make sure she was alright. In a viral video titled ‘Next Level Security’, the Pakistani woman is shown being interviewed while wearing a CCTV camera on her burka-covered head. Asked about the bizarre accessory, she said that it was his father’s idea, adding that she had nothing against it because she knew her parents were concerned about her safety.

The unidentified woman went on to say that the idea of wearing what we assume is a battery-powered camera when she goes out was inspired by the tragic death of a young woman in Karachi. Her father, whom she called her “personal security guard,” apparently told her that the surveillance camera would help him monitor her more closely, and she agreed to wear it.

Despite the obvious absurdity of the so-called security measure, the young woman claimed that the threat of violence against women in Karachi was very real, and her family had good reason to be concerned.

It’s unclear how the surveillance camera is being powered and how it can accessed by the woman’s father, but even if both these issues were somehow resolved, many on social media pointed out that the camera wouldn’t be much use if someone attacked the young woman from behind. Then again, maybe her family is counting on the fact that the mere sight of a security camera would intimidate anyone with bad intentions.
