Sir: Few days ago, Pakistan witnessed a barbaric series of events. Everyday more than 11 cases of child abuse were reported from across Pakistan. The whole nation was jolted by the brutal rape and murder of seven year old Zainab. It’s high time for us to raise our voices against sexual abuse and harassment. In order to eradicate child rape from Pakistan, the concerned authorities should make sexual education mandatory in educational institutes. Moreover, parents should also be made aware of the post symptoms of such incidents. MAHA MOHSIN Karachi Published in Daily Times, February 24th 2018.
