Husband of Zubaida bibi Mr. Younas Masih discussed with the delegation of MASS and Younas siad, “I want justice: Because we are poor peoples and we don’t have any resources. My wife was innocent and noble lady. She was working for our children”

There are rising incidents of sexual harassment against Christian women workers on workplaces in Pakistan which go unreported due to cultural and social values.

The influential Muslims feel free to kidnap and rape Christian women in Pakistan where Islamic laws protect culprits. In kidnap and rape cases against Christian women, the Muslim culprits walk free from courts which keep victims silent on such abuses.
