Justice for Fakhra
She waited in vain for over 12 years for justice to be done.

What is shocking is the silence of women anchors, including a lady who belongs to the same area as the tormentor of Fakhra and enjoys a similar feudal background. This country has, for too long, allowed women to be abused, raped and be subjected to acid attacks by those who have the resources to influence police investigations. This is the sad reality that we live in — where laws are passed with a lot of fanfare but are seldom implemented.
