SHAFAQNA PAKISTAN (Shia News Agency)
Pakistan’s society has been rapidly changing into a crime hub. Crimes against women have increased manifolds in past few years. The shocking news of a mother and her 12-year-old daughter gang-raped by three men in Ghotki, Sindh, and then burnt alive has shaken the individual with living conscience. It is not first brutal act of its kind, number of innocent girls have been raped and killed on number of occasions. The ugliest aspect of this murky crime is that FIR’s are registered but no action is taken against the culprits. Most of the victims fall from poor tier of society thus they cannot follow their cases and thus their cases are shelved. What is alarming is the increasing trend of following up rape with murder. We are now seeing the typical rape crime graduating into a violent gang rape and accelerating into the ultimate crime of murder. This minor girl was gang raped and intentionally set on fire.
Male-dominated societies like the one we have in Pakistan, India and Afghanistan are regular scenes of the crime of rape. The problem is with justice system of these countries. In 90% cases the culprits are influential thus they escape the bars and crippled justice system fails to deliver to victims.
