Pakistan’s Blasphemy Law: Where Accusation Becomes a Death Sentence and Mob Violence Replaces Justice

Gulaan’s Story: From Survival to Honor Killing
She had already survived once. That should have meant something. Gulaan Buharo, a young mother of two, had done what many women are never able to do—she spoke up. She ran from violence. She sought protection. She told the truth, not just to her family, but before a court of law.
A Crisis Normalized: Pakistan’s Escalating Persecution of Religious Minorities and the Global Failure to Respond

A Nation Failing Its Women: Rising Violence, Vanishing Justice in Pakistan
Pakistan’s crisis of violence against women is often reduced to numbers—but behind every statistic is a life interrupted, a voice silenced, and a story that never received justice.
