Uzma, a 15-year-old girl was recently allegedly murdered by the people she was working for. Yes, her employers allegedly murdered her after she was beaten black and blue, literally.
That, my friends, is what separates humans from wild animals. Pakistani’s have been highlighting Uzma’s murder recently, and demand justice for this barbaric act.
Uzmal had been working for the past 8 months in an extremely hostile environment
According to the viral news report that has brought her story to people on social media, Uzma was neither paid properly nor fed properly. Sometimes, she had to go and ask the neighbors for food and was beaten on a regular basis. Uzma’s dad was working as a security guard. She was made to sleep in the bathroom.
In a viral video circulating about her final days, Uzma looks traumatized and voices of people laughing can be heard in the background
She was allegedly brutally murdered just because, in her bruised and beaten state, she took a bite to eat from her employer’s daughters plate.
Uzma’s body has been explained to have multiple injuries. Her tongue was cut, her bones were broken and her chest had injuries. The video also shows that Uzma wasn’t even allowed to meet her family members.
People can’t believe that a human being could do something like this

An underage girl, who should’ve been in school was treated in a way that eventually lead to her death and this is making many question child labor and human rights situation in our country
Most of these little helpers are underage kids and they are living in most hostile conditions when they should actually be going to school. @ShireenMazari1 can't our govt do anything for them?#JusticeForUzma @ImranKhanPTI

Why do we need servants and maids? Can't we wash our own dishes and cloths? When we live in other countries we do all of our chores ourselves but in Pakistan we need an army of servants. Can't govt come up with some laws for them? #JusticeForUzma

People are asking higher authorities to take some kind of action against Uzma’s murder
It's hard even to see. How can someone do this to anyone? @ShireenMazari1 please take a stand for Uzma. #JusticeForUzma https://t.co/PZFeADV4g3

This is awful. Honestly, it’s hard to even watch. We can’t even begin to comprehend what the little girl must be going through. Do people really lose their humanity to such an extent?
