Pakistan’s Constitution allows freedom of religion for minority groups, but the country has a poor record of safeguarding these rights. Attacks on minorities include targeted violence, abduction, conversion to Islam, and extrajudicial killings. Media groups have voiced concerns about hostility towards religious minorities on social media and closing spaces for dissent online. Female journalists are increasingly targeted online, with severe offline consequences. Forced conversions have become a privileged tool against Christians and Hindus, with girls being abducted, forcibly married, and converted to Islam. Blasphemy is also used to settle personal conflicts and target minorities. Transgenders are subjected to humiliation and violence by the conservative Pakistani community. Child abuse is a global problem, with at least 1,489 children subjected to sexual assault in Pakistan in the first half of the year.
