Plz do not share the video & picture of the victims!
We live in a country where women are abused & silenced. Where the leadership raises its voice to sideline domestic violence bills. Where abusers can get away with crimes because they are backed by a state that always tells them it was the woman’s fault.#ArrestUsmanMirza

imagine having to beg your law enforcement to punish sexual assault by having to trend a hashtag every time so they’ll notice. If you live in Pakistan, you don’t have to imagine. #ArrestUsmanMirza
