A woman doctor was attacked with acid in her own hospital ward while on duty. Whatever the motive here, the broader pattern is undeniable. Around 80% of acid attack victims worldwide are women, and the most common motives are refusal of marriage, denial of sex, and rejection of men. It is an expression of control over women’s bodies. The act stands as a warning to other women who seek independence. Dr. Mahnoor Nasir deserves justice, the best care, and full solidarity.
