Hi,
Its odd that the first page i turn up had my real name on it. I have always heard that 8 out of 10 have been in one way or another sexually abused, but I never believed it until last night when my group of friends, one by one revealed the secrets of their childhood past. 5 out of the 6 of us have been a victim of molestation in their childhood in Pakistan. It sickens me to my stomach that in a country like Pakistan, which is so called an Islamic state, people are nothing but far away from Islam.
I badly want to do something about it… i dont know what.. but something. I hope all of us can get together to find a way to prevent this from happening further.

Sana. A very well-written article and thanks for highlighting this sensitive issue. I want to convey to everyone that saying that “Don’t trust the strangers” is no more true so, plz don’t trust anyone when it comes to your kids. Now adays predators are mostly the people that are very well trustworthy in family.

I am so ashamed of the fact that our country has no proper legislation on child rights. We are too many other issues at priority and our government seems not to care for it present and future “Our children”.

Regretfully this is a nice piece of article.

This is evil.

Islam instructs the Muslims to fight evil.

Is it more evil to draw a caricature of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing of Allah be upon Him) or to TOLERATE pedophilia (i am not saying molesting).

By the way, speaking of caricatures of the Holy Prophet how can those who raised a hue and cry about it be such fools.
Islam teaches the Muslims that except the very pious Muslims can dream of the Holy Prophet and that the devil can not take his face.

Remember the guy who pissed in the masjid and the Holy Prophet prevented his companions from beating him up.

Be tolerant.

A very well written post Sana, the Sehrish’s story just broke my heart ;( though it was fictional. Its hard to imagine how these ppl are walking freely among us and no one hardly finds out their bestiality. Its high time that we educate our parents and families to protect their children.

Sehrish is not the real name, as I mentioned its a fictional name to a real life character.

Thanks for raising this important issue. It definitely needs more awareness.

Every parent thinks that this can’t happen to their child…. and this often results in failure to teach their child basic knowledge of how to protect themselves if faced with such a situation..
