Since the news of Zainab’s kidnapping, rape and murder broke, the entire nation is shaken. It indeed was a wakeup call for the masses – for days, the trend #JusticeForZainab remains on top, only for the politicians in power of the country to take some stern actions regarding the matter.
Zainab, unfortunately, is not the only young girl who had to go through something as horrible as this incident that shocked the entire nation. Rape cases reported in Kasur were countless. But that’s just one part of Pakistan. The facts prove how many children, both men and mostly women have assaulted, raped and murdered.
However, there are many cases where children were raped at a young age, left with internal injuries and there is nothing they can do about it.
In the Light of Zainab’s Tragedy, Fatima Sheerin, a Young Doctor Took it on Social Media And Shared Two Heartbreaking Stories!
These stories are just a small percentage of what rape victims go through.
Here’s How She Starts Sharing the Incidents
The first one is a 4-year-old girl…just FOUR years old!
The horrific kasir incident reminds me of the time in 2014 when I & a small group of medical students would visit paediatric medicine & surgical wards to arrange activities+gifts for the admitted children.

On one such visit to a peads surgery ward we met this 4 years old who was wearing a pink frock & playing with us.
The lil princess was with her mom. When we inquired the reason for her admission we were told that she had to undergo a major perineal surgery— Fatima Sheerin (@FamSheerin) January 10, 2018
Oh, God…
Reason being:
She was mercilessly raped by her cousin, an 18 yrs old sick adult who couldnt control his raging hormones & bestiality.
She had major perineal tears & her urethra+anus were to be reconstructed.— Fatima Sheerin (@FamSheerin) January 10, 2018
Breaks the Heart
The culprit was her khala’s son with whom the girl & her mother (a widow) were forced to live because they had nowhere to go.
When i asked the mom if she was going to press the charges, she refused. Saying she neither had the courage nor rhe stamina to face our court & society.— Fatima Sheerin (@FamSheerin) January 10, 2018
And it Doesn’t End Here
Fatima shared another incident with a 10-year-old girl
Also, another incident when a 10 yr old was brought to gynae opd during my housejob in 2016 with a complain to blood in urine. Her grandma was with her & wasn’t giving a proper history. She was told to wait outside while we sat relaxing the child & coaxing truth out of her

Oh, My God!
After being repeatedly asked she goes:
Mama ne kaha tha ksi ko ni btana k mamu, bhai aur chachu ne kia kya hai.
I couldn’t eat and sleep for days after.

Of Course, Makes Sense!
There are people contacting me on social media asking me wether i have contact details of these victims.
I dont.
And Even if i did i will never give them away without their permission.
You cannot expect a doctor to break the laws of confidentiality.— Fatima Sheerin (@FamSheerin) January 11, 2018
It breaks one’s heart to see the pain these young girls go through because vultures fail to keep it in their pants.
Rape is a horrible crime that has no forgiveness in the light of Islam. It is about time that our society, our government take serious actions against this vile crime.
May Allah protect us all but most importantly, may Allah protect the future of these young girls and give punishment to those men who ruined their childhood.
