@bakhtawrfaisal God. Did that consultant not study basic physiology? Where does the pain come from? Prostaglandins. What stops prostaglandin production? An NSAID!!!!
A man in Nankana Sahib's Sangla Hill area locked a paralyzed man in a room and raped his physically disabled daughter. A case has been registered and the suspect arrested.
You're in hell. You're staying with one of those families that seemingly never eats. They skip breakfast. Lunch rolls around and everyone says, “I'm not really hungry.” There are no snacks anywhere. Then they don't eat dinner until like 8PM.
In the last few months, the news has been filled with reports of sexual violence across the country. From 3 year children to a 8 year old boy, to a 15 year old girl to 50 year old woman. No one is safe!
How did the state respond? By allowing CCD to carry out extra-procedural punishments for street assault, and the Senate Human Rights Committee doing the bare minimum -calling a consultation meeting on honour killings.
Some of the state responses are not entirely useless but what it fundamentally lacks is any understanding of sexual and gender-based violence as part of a system. Street harassment, domestic violence, honour killings, institutional impunity, these are not separate problems. And until the state names that root, every intervention will be a band-aid. To address gender based and sexual violence meaningfully, the state must acknowledge that its basis is patriarchy, the norms and behaviours that sustain it, and the institutions that reproduce it. Seeing it as a system to be dismantled is the only way forward.
That means reform that names patriarchy as a political problem, not a tradition to be navigated. Mass public education that treats gender violence not as a morality problem or law and order problem but as a power problem, taught as such in schools, workplaces, and public institutions. Police and judiciary reforms. Practical measures to improve women's mobility and safety. And above all, the political will to denaturalize what patriarchy has made to seem ordinary - the control of women's movement, the policing of dress and sexuality, the social permission granted to male rage.
I hope the state takes it more seriously than it is doing at the moment. There is not enough thinking around this and it's taking lives every single day!
Thousands of children in Kasur were raped & videotaped, blackmailed & are still without justice. Zainab, Uzma, Kamran, the little boys of Shahrag, the little bachabaazi victims at trucks stood, coal mines, the brothels with sex workers age 9 up. And now this child raped & found dead above a grocery store.
Yet none of this is really a priority is it?
The relentless news keeps building. But as long as the powerful keep getting richer & more powerful, it doesn’t really matter.
We have become ridiculously desensitised.
Yet most of the people turning a blind eye to the LACK of child protection in Pakistan are deeply religious.
Curious. How do you all think your silence on every platform will show up on judgment day?
Because it will.
I stopped believing in a fair world when I started working with children’s rights & children in shelters 35 years ago.
But I do believe in the justice of Allah.
And Alhamdolillah I still do believe in the compassion & kindness of the human race.
There are angels amongst us that keep my faith in humanity alive.
In the mean time…. I request today as I did during Kasur… as I did in 2011-2013-2017-2018- & every year since I’ve been active on social media…
Please speak up and demand child protection, awareness & safe guarding for children, campaigns all over Pakistan.
This pandemic of child sexual abuse needs to stop.
It’s beyond insane how society has allowed it and how complicit all of those who continue to be silent are.
سرگودھا میں سات سالہ بچی کو درندگی کا نشانہ بنانے کے بعد قتل کرنے والا “درندہ” آلہ قتل سمیت گرفتار کر لیا گیا۔میرا وعدہ ہے اس “درندے” کو بہت جلد ایسی سزا دلوائیں گے کہ باقی “درندے” کانپ اٹھیں گے۔ ایسی آنکھ کو نکال دینا چاہیے جو کسی بچی کو بری نظر سے دیکھے۔ایسے درندے اس معاشرے کیلئے ناسور ہیں،ان کی اس سوسائٹی میں کوئی جگہ نہیں
The perpetrator who assaulted and brutally murdered 7 year old Munteha in Sargodha will face exemplary punishment. There can be no place in Pakistan for such heartless lunatics who prey on innocent children. The Punjab Government is committed to ensuring an immediate justice for the victim and her grieving family. Crimes of this nature will be met with zero tolerance and the full force of the law.
#JusticeForMunteha #ZeroToleranceforRape
8-year-old Muntaha was raped and murdered in Sargodha when she went to buy snacks, 19-year-old Misbah was raped and later crushed by a vehicle in Rahim Yar Khan, A 16-year old girl escaped kidnapping in Gujranwala. How many more cases before this is declared a national emergency?
The neighours’ servant who grabbed me from the door of my house. The tutor I began to avoid and told my mother about. The cousin who was kicked out of my house.
The cousin who “played a game” with me while my parents were at work. The other cousin who touched me while I sat in a chair next to him. Another one who abused me for years. The neighbours’ driver who took me into the bedroom while the family was away.
Sargodha really is a problematic place. I remember going there once. I was maybe 12-13? But I got catcalled, groped, stared at aggressively all within the same day. It’s the most disgusting place I have been to in Pakistan so far.
Sadly, one of the most common reactions to the sargodha incident has been people questioning why the parents allowed the child to go to the nearby shop, instead of directing their anger at the r*pists. That’s exactly the kind of mindset that keeps these tragedies repeating.
When are we going to start calling what’s happening in Pakistan what it is? It’s femicide. Women being killed left and right. Of all ages. All over the country. Almost everyday.
