This document discusses the portrayal of women in advertising and issues related to ethics and Islamic values. It notes that advertisements often focus more on attractive women than the product being advertised, in order to increase sales. Using women this way is an attempt to get male attention and generate publicity. The document also discusses Pakistani laws and regulations regarding advertising content from organizations like APNS and PEMRA. It argues that many current ads do not properly represent society and are harming cultural norms and family values. The relationship between laws and ethics is also examined, noting that something unethical may not necessarily be illegal. Islamic perspectives on modesty from the Quran are presented.
