“A Girl Is Not Safe. Not Anywhere”




In Pakistan today, a girl is not safe.


Not at home.

Not on the street.

Not even in her own childhood.


She can be three years old… or thirty.

It doesn’t matter.


Every day, there is another story.

Another girl. Another life broken.

And then… silence.


We scroll. We feel sad. We move on.


But for that girl, life never moves on.


We have seen cases that shook the entire nation stories that made us cry, protest, and demand justice. But even after all the outrage, the fear remains… and the cycle continues.


Why?


Why is fear the first lesson we teach our daughters?

“Don’t go out.”

“Don’t talk.”

“Don’t trust.”


Why are girls told to shrink their lives…

instead of teaching criminals to fear the law?


This is not just injustice.

This is failure.


We don’t need sympathy anymore.

We need protection.

We need action.

We need a system that actually works.


Because right now, being a girl feels like a risk.


And the most painful part?


Every girl reading this knows it’s true.


I am writing this not just with words

but with fear, anger, and hope.


Hope that one day, a girl in Pakistan

will wake up and not feel afraid.


But until that day comes


We will not stay silent.


(If you’re reading this, don’t scroll. Speak.)
