It was last week when a kid went out of her house to never come back. Marwah, a five-year-old girl was brutalized odiously, only to be murdered, burned, and thrown into garbage later. It was a reflection of not solely the heinous crimes scattered in our country, but also the people we have become, as a society.

Likewise, a few pivotal fragments of the Pakistani media fraternity have taken to social media to protest against the killing of the innocent Marwah and to demand exemplary punishment for the perpetrators.
Philanthropist Shaniera Akram wrote, “How can we expect men who have little to no respect for any female life to even think twice before raping,murdering & throwing a little girls body in to a pile of rubbish?”
How can we expect men who have little to no respect for any female life to even think twice before raping,murdering & throwing a little girls body in to a pile of rubbish? Promoting Equality & justice for girls & women may not be our answer but it’s a bloody good place to start!

Demanding a public punishment, actress Ushna Shah said, “This time a hanging wont do! There needs to be a PUBLIC & INHUMANE punishment.”
Every inch of investigative & forensic resource needs to be used to identify the monsters. This time a hanging wont do! There needs to be a PUBLIC & INHUMANE punishment; they are NOT HUMANS. We live amidst demons. Set an example for the rest! #JusticeForMarwah #torturerapists

“Pedophiles must be hung in front of people,” wrote Veena Malik as she requests authorities to take notice.
Pedophiles must be hung in front of people. It'd be the best prerequisite for stopping this sort of obscenities. Authorities are requested to take notice seriously. We've lost patience. We don't want these blooming roses to be plucked.????

Singer Asim Azhar sheds light on something really important and thought-provoking. He writes about how we are making issues out of non-issues like who’s wearing what, who’s marrying whom, what sect does a person belong and the list goes on, but no one is really talking about major issues.
How many more angels like Marwah till we wake up. I’m sorry Marwah, yahan ye zyada tension hai ke kaun kaise kaprhe pehen raha hai, kaun kisse shaadi kar raha hai, kaun Shia hai kaun sunni… bas kuch nahi hai tou wo insaaniat. #JusticeForMarwah
