As the number of sexual abuse and rape cases keeps rising in the country, social media users have expressed concern and demanded more effective measures.
Social media users have shown outrage against rape culture in Pakistan as its hashtag ‘End Rape Pakistan’ has become a top new trend on Twitter:
I said no multiple times
I tried to leave the room multiple times
But he was too powerful
I wanted my mum
I thought about my elder siblings
I wanted to go home
I went to the Best man of this World
The man who is support of many
I was there to study no to be raped#EndRapePakistan pic.twitter.com/HR7esydkrQ— NouRaiz (@Nouraiz01) July 18, 2020

Those who’ve been raped are NOT alone. We must create a safe forums for their truths to be heard and end this rape culture – especially from the powerful who don’t think they will be held accountable. @SenateForeign @UNHumanRights https://t.co/ZhV0cmKe7p

Rape is a serious crime punishable by death, yet frequency of rape incidents is persisting in Pakistan due to dysfunctional mechanism of law enforcement.#CapitalPunishmentforRapists #EndRapePakistan pic.twitter.com/G8XePbLVcf
