Pakistan Caretaker Prime Minister’s Special Assistant on Human Rights and Women Empowerment, Mushaal Hussain Mullick, has said that rape is being used as a weapon of war in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir to instill fear amongst the public.
Addressing an event in Islamabad today, she said this must be condemned and stopped.
Mushaal Mullick pointed out that rape in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir is not an individual act but being supported by the state.
She said the Indian forces’ personnel are carrying out these heinous acts with complete impunity, emphasizing the importance of advocating for the victims.
She mentioned that eleven thousand cases of sexual assault have been reported in IIOJK and noted the under-reporting of such incidents in the occupied territory.—KMS
