Pakistan's women's rights chief has blasted brutal killings of young girls across the country. The National Commission on the Status of Women boss Ume Laila Azhar slammed recent murders that happened because of social media apps and family disputes. She called out fathers who kill their daughters over stupid reasons like refusing to delete TikTok videos. The commission leader said these violent acts have nothing to do with family honor. Azhar demanded tougher laws and better protection for vulnerable teenage girls.
Two shocking cases grabbed the commission's attention during recent weeks. A father murdered his young daughter in Rawat near Rawalpindi after they fought about her phone. Another brutal attack happened in Lyari where criminals tried to kill a 19-year-old girl and sexually assaulted her. The victim survived but faces serious health problems from the violence. Azhar wants police to catch these killers and make examples of them.
The women's advocate warned that technology creates new dangers for Pakistani girls. Social media platforms give abusive men more ways to threaten and hurt female victims. Parents need to check out potential husbands before arranging marriages for their daughters. The commission called for stronger action against people who use phones and computers to harm women and girls.
