The tragic case of Sania Zehra, a victim of brutal domestic violence, highlights the persistent issue of gender-based violence in Pakistan. Sania's ordeal is a manifestation of deep-seated patriarchal norms that perpetuate abuse and silence. How can we ignore the suffering of countless women trapped in abusive relationships? What steps will authorities take to ensure justice for victims like Sania? Our justice system's failure to protect victims is evident, with many cases unreported or dismissed. Strengthening legal frameworks and enforcement is critical. Economic empowerment through education and employment is essential for women to gain independence and escape abuse. Sania's case underscores the urgent need for accessible mental health services for survivors. We must act to ensure victims' voices are heard, abusers are held accountable, and the cycle of violence is broken.
