										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A 13-year-old rape victim died at Lady Reading Hospital in Peshawar after giving birth to a stillborn baby.</p>
<p>The girl was raped five months ago by a man who had taken her home on the pretext of fraud five months ago.</p>
<p>The victim&#8217;s mother had initially taken the girl to a lady health visitor to get the child aborted. However, the girl was then sent to the Lady Reading Hospital in critical condition. She died while giving birth.</p>
<p>The police registered a case against the man suspected of raping the minor girl and arrested him,<a href="https://www.geo.tv/latest/489814-teenage-rape-victim-dies-after-giving-birth-to-stillborn-baby-in-peshawar"> <em>Geo News</em> </a>reported.</p>
<p>In 2018, the gruesome murder and rape of six-year-old Zainab Ansari in Kasur, Punjab, shook the nation, leading to widespread protests.</p>
<p>Later that year, police caught 24-year-old Imran Ali for raping and murdering Zainab. Imran Ali was convicted of similar crimes against six more girls and was handed a death sentence. The convict was hanged in October 2018.</p>
<p>In 2020, parliament passed a new law against child abuse in the wake of Zainab’s case.</p>
<p class="dcr-h26idz">The country’s first national child abuse law introduced a penalty of life imprisonment for child abuse. The law mandates police to register a case within two hours of a child’s parents reporting them missing.</p>
<p class="dcr-h26idz">Nearly 10 cases of child abuse a day are reported in Pakistan, with girls mostly affected, according to Sahil, an organisation that works on child protection.</p>
<p dir="auto" data-layout="story" data-id="1750182">According to a report by an NGO working on child protection, Sahil, over 12 children were sexually abused daily in Pakistan and as many as 4,253 cases of child sexual abuse were reported in Pakistan during 2022.</p>
<p>According to the report, as many as 4,253 cases relating to child sexual abuse, abduction, missing children and child marriages were reported in Pakistan.</p>
<p>Out of the total reported cases, 2,325 victims were girls (55%) and 1,928 (45%) were boys.</p>
<p>2022 saw an increase of 33 per cent when it comes to the cases of child abuse from the previous year.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A court in Islamabad has sentenced the security guard of a private company to life imprisonment for raping a foreign national.</p>
<p>The Aabpara police had received an application last year from a foreign national that she was sexually assaulted by the security guard of her house.</p>
<p>The police gathered evidence and submitted a challan to the court which convicted him and sentenced him to life imprisonment.</p>
<p>The verdict was given nine months after the incident by  Additional Sessions Judge Humayun Dilawar pronounced. Public Prosecutor Rana Hassan Abbas prosecuted the case.</p>
<p>The foreign national also recorded her statement through a video link during the trial wherein she confirmed the rape. The foreign woman was attached to a United Nations subsidiary in Islamabad.</p>
<p>In addition to this, the DNA was also matched, following which the court sentenced accused Muhammad Safir to life imprisonment.</p>
<p>Pakistan often ranks among the worst country for women&#8217;s security and last year in Karachi alone over 500 rape cases were reported. The number is believed to be much higher than this.</p>
<p>Earlier, a nine-year-old disabled child was found raped and murdered in Karachi’s Korangi area.</p>
<p>The police have arrested two people for investigation.</p>
<p>The body of the boy was found in the rear seat of a parked Suzuki Cultus car. The police also said that they have arrested the owner of the vehicle and watchman of the parking stand for the investigation.</p>
<p>According to doctors, the boy had a right-hand deformity and during the medical examination, multiple injuries were found all over the body. The findings also suggested anal sexual abuse.</p>
