Report Reveals 212 Honor Killings in Balochistan Since 2019
Imagine some people in Balochistan are being killed because someone in their family is thought to have done something wrong.
A group called Aurat Foundation looked at these killings and found over 200 cases since 2019.
Many more probably happen but aren't reported.
Naseerabad had the most.
The Foundation says the police and courts aren't doing enough to stop it.
They want the government to make new laws, help the families, and teach people about the problem.
This is to keep women and everyone safe.
Aurat Foundation reported 212 honor killings in Balochistan from 2019-2024.
The Naseerabad district had the highest number of incidents with 73 cases.
Many cases go unreported due to social stigma and local influences.
The report highlights ineffective legal responses and lack of accountability.
The Foundation urges immediate legal reforms and awareness campaigns.
