Now it is up to our state institutions and society to protect vulnerable girls and women
KECH, TURBAT: It is horrifying news for the entire nation that a teenage girl became pregnant after getting allegedly raped by her brother and uncle with the support of her mother. According to the 14-year-old girl, she was forced into prostitution by her mother who took her to two places where she was raped by two people; afterwards, the victim claimed, she was raped by her own brother and uncle repeatedly and she suspected getting pregnant following the assault. A family is the safety net one is surrounded and protected by. But the said incident has led all sensible people to ask, where our society is heading for?
Now it is up to our state institutions and society to protect vulnerable girls and women from such shameless sexual predators.
