A 15-year-old Hindu girl, Miran Meghwar, was recently abducted in Pakistan’s Sindh province, sparking worries about the safety of minority girls in the country. The Voice of Pakistan Minority (VOPM) highlighted that Miran was allegedly kidnapped from her home in Mirpurkhas by two individuals, Tariq Kauri and Allah Dino Kauri, leaving her family distraught.
Despite a police case being filed, Miran’s whereabouts remain unknown, shedding light on the precarious situation faced by minority girls in rural Sindh. The Meghwar family has made a public plea for urgent action, urging authorities and civil society to prioritize their daughter’s disappearance.
Community members in Mirpurkhas have joined forces in support of the family, demanding justice and expressing concerns about delayed resolutions in such cases. The VOPM emphasized that Miran’s case is not an isolated incident but part of a distressing trend affecting marginalized Hindu communities in Sindh.
The human rights group cited organizations like the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) warning about the increasing incidents of forced abductions, marriages, and religious conversions involving underage girls. The VOPM stressed that these cases reveal a flawed system that often fails to deliver justice to the most vulnerable, perpetuating fear among communities.
Expressing dismay over the prolonged quest for justice, the VOPM highlighted the need for swift resolution in Miran’s case. Until she is located, her disappearance symbolizes the vulnerability and neglect faced by minorities in Pakistan, underscoring the ongoing struggle for equal rights and protection.
