Just look at the condition of this traumatized Hindu girl from Pakistan, who was gang-raped by Muslims. The fear, pain, & helplessness in her voice are heartbreaking. No human being should have to endure such horror.
For decades, Pakistan's Hindu community has lived as a vulnerable minority. Reports of Hindu girls being abducted, sexually assaulted, forcibly converted, and coerced into marriage continue to emerge with alarming regularity. Many Hindu families live in constant fear for the safety and future of their daughters.
At the time of Partition, Hindus constituted a significant percentage of the population in the territory that is now Pakistan. Today, they represent only a small minority. The continuing reports of persecution and discrimination against Hindus deserve urgent international attention.
The world cannot remain silent when vulnerable minorities suffer. Human rights must not depend on religion, nationality, or political convenience.
I urge people of conscience, human rights organizations, governments, and religious leaders across the world to speak up for the rights, dignity, and safety of Hindus in Pakistan and Bangladesh. Silence only emboldens injustice.
