ASP Sherbano's brave intervention to rescue a woman from a dangerous mob in Lahore exemplifies the invaluable role of women in law enforcement and how police when they fulfill their duties effectively, can de-escalate such volatile situations.
The rise of vigilante violence in cases of blasphemy is extremely concerning and rooted in systemic issues within discriminatory laws, as well as extremist and radicalized ideologies that are weaponised against minorities. Urgent concrete steps are needed to counter people’s mindsets and use legislation for the protection of vulnerable individuals and not to victimise them.
