Recently, a case has surfaced that revolves around a 12-year old Hindu girl, Jamna, who was gang-raped after being intoxicated. Sources state that the girl belongs to the Hindu community and she lived in a small district in the province of Sindh. It is being said that the incident reportedly took place on the third day of Eid. After the little girl was sexually assaulted by two men, she was left in a cricket ground in the district. The images and the videos that have surfaced are extremely disturbing.
A video of the girl in the hospital is also circulating on the social media
The images of the girl clearly show that the girl was subjected to severe torture before the incident actually took place.

It is being said that the medical staff in the Hyderabad hospital did not take the case seriously and instead accused the girl of not cooperating with them. People have been pointing out that the girl was under the effect of intoxicants and in a state like that, she couldn’t possibly be expected to cooperate with the staff.
Shame on Dr Madeeha & Dr Santosh of Civil Hospital Hyderabad, who discharged #Jamna without examination & treatment that she was not cooperating with them. How a 11 yr old drunk victim would cooperate with cruel doctors?
She must be scared being raped again #Justice4Jamna— Shama Junejo (@ShamaJunejo) June 7, 2019
Spoken to @AyazLatifPalijo he told me the ultimate shameful behavior of medical staff of Hyderabad hospital. They sent this girl back to tando adam hospital in continous bleeding saying she was not cooperating. Contd #Justiceforjamna

Approximately, more than 22000 child rape cases have been reported in Pakistan and sources state that a 32% increase in such cases has occurred in the year 2018.
Such incidents clearly show that there’s a major lapse when it comes to protecting our children. Incidents like these happen, we attend vigils and everyone jumps in to speak their mind, but all conversations fizzle out till the next victim surfaces.
Since the girl belongs to a minority group, it is also really important to highlight the fact that minorities in Pakistan are also suffering. It’s become all-too-easy easy to overlook cases of forced conversions, abductions, and other rape or assault cases that stem from a lack of tolerance, but the fact is that this is a reality within the fabric of our country’s existence.
Minorities continued to suffer violence and cases of abductions and forced conversions to Islam.

The horrendous act that has drastically impacted little Jamna’s life should not only be condemned but should also serve as a wakeup call to all naysayers and those in denial. And this is exactly what is happening all over the social media. People are expressing their thoughts regarding the incident and are also asking the higher authorities to provide the girl with justice.
12 year Jamna z raped
*She is a girl.
*She belongs to a minority.
*She is a Hindu.
*She belongs to a low caste.
* She is a poor.
Now, will she get justice?#Justiceforjamna @Mukesh_Meghwar @KDSindhi @dileep_doshi @MuradAliShahPPP @TayyabaKhalidM @mahobili @mmatalpur pic.twitter.com/vTvyamn37a— Zuhaib Ahmed Pirzada ☭ (@pirzada_zuhaib) June 7, 2019
People have been discussing how difficult it is to be a woman in Pakistan as well.
No God…don't send any more daughters on this land…They are not safe anymore… They are dragged in the mud… along with their honor…
Marks of her fingers in the mud…Every atom in that mud must cry painful tears of loss.@ShireenMazari1 @BBhuttoZardari #JusticeForJamna https://t.co/868oHwwCf8— Fatima Hassan (@Fatima_Hassan17) June 7, 2019
This stands true, given the cases of rape, assault, and murder that have come to light in the past month alone – a Holy month of peace and tolerance.
People stated that in order to curb this menace, it’s important to severely punish the culprits.
Why can we not publicly hang these rapists? Why can't we create fear among these bastards that they will die the most painful humiliating death if they commit such a sin. Islam allows it!! I'm so heartbroken for this girl and equally angry too. Allah ghark Kare.#Justiceforjamna https://t.co/T0qJBwuhOX

Women mentioned even mentioned that it’s incidents like these that make them come out on the streets and march.
Jamna Sammi is the her name. She was sexually assaulted & raped. Her videos have been circulating on SM in a traumatic state. Remember her name when next time they ask us why we are out on the roads to march. It’s for each one of us and for Jamna! #JusticeForJamna

People are urging higher authorities to intervene and are asking them to set a precedent to prove that a responsible government is capable enough to protect ALL its citizens, irrespective of their faith
This calls for an immediate investigation Ma’am @ShireenMazari1. It is your responsibly to ensure protection of dignity & human rights of all citizens of all faiths. This continues to happen under your watch. Set a precedent here. https://t.co/gBXaEjZcrW #JusticeForJamna

A lot of them have been stating that Jamna is the daughter of Pakistan and no discrimination based upon her religion should be brought into the discussion
She is Pakistan ki beti, my sister, neither hindu nor Muslim. Pls don't discriminate or exploit on the basis of religion. We as a nation are up for her, raising voice for justice and this is first time I heard A Hindu Girl from your biased tweet. #Justiceforjamna https://t.co/89yv6zuD6w

They even mentioned that before criticizing the inhumane treatment of Indian Muslims, Pakistanis first need to see what’s happening back home.
Before questioning Indians about Muslim minorities there, should’nt we have a look at what we are doing with our minorities? Exhausted after seeing that clip where that poor girl seems unable to figure out what was her fucking fault. #Justiceforjamna

Pakistan is fighting with an avalanche of such cases in a society where sex education is still a taboo. As a country, we have come a long way but there’s a lot more that needs to be done. Stern action should be taken against the culprits and all the people involved in this particular incident. The entire situation is extremely traumatizing and we hope that Jamna gets justice as soon as possible.
