Sir: The brutal rape and murder of a little girl Zainab had seemingly infuriated Pakistanis and triggered an open public discourse on the issue of sexual abuse. However, it is not the only case which was highlighted by media; at least one incident of rape and murder is reported by media every day. Most of such incidents have reportedly taken place at schools, religious seminaries, as well as at home. To protect children from sexual abuse, the authorities should not only take stringent legal actions against the culprits but also take precautionary measures including raising awareness about sexual abuse. This country should be safe for children! SAKI ABDUL HAMEED Turbat
