Justice for Dr. Mahnoor Nasar
The Pukhtoon Students Council strongly condemns the brutal acid attack on Dr. Mahnoor in Quetta. Targeting a doctor who dedicates her life to healing is an assault not just on one person, but on knowledge, humanity, and the dreams of every woman working to build a better future.
According to reports, Dr. Mahnoor was attacked while on duty. This raises serious concerns about the safety of women in workplaces and public spaces, especially in the Pashtun belt where girls already struggle against cultural and social barriers to education and employment.
Violence like this spreads fear and sends a dangerous message to families and students. It risks undoing years of progress toward female literacy, empowerment, and professional inclusion. If women in healthcare and education cannot feel safe, society as a whole pays the price.
We stand with Dr. Mahnoor and her family and wish her full strength and recovery. The government must act swiftly to ensure accountability, protect women professionals, and guarantee that no one faces violence for pursuing their career.
