Will this ever stop? Iqra Aziz voices anger over child safety crisis

Popular Pakistani actress Iqra Aziz has spoken out against the alarming rise in crimes against children, expressing anguish and frustration over what she described as a persistent failure of the justice system to hold perpetrators accountable.

Taking to her Instagram Stories, the actress reshared a post highlighting a disturbing incident and penned an emotional note questioning whether such tragedies would ever come to an end.

“Will all of this ever stop? The answer is NO, because every person in this country, including the criminal, knows they will never be caught and will never face punishment. Another life is gone, so what? We have convinced ourselves not to send our children anywhere alone, but the law of this land could not punish even a single person who commits such horrific crimes,” she wrote.

Iqra expressed deep disappointment over the recurring nature of these incidents, arguing that weak legal deterrence has failed to safeguard innocent children and bring predators to justice.
