What a heartbreaking case. As a Muslim, it is infuriating to see people say " She should have worn hijab", first of all, Islam states to avert your eye if you see something you find inappropriate, which is a rule that MANY men totally ignore and shift the blame on women when such cases occur. Second of all, this is a CHILD; she is not by any means obligated to wear hijab, and even if she did, again, Islam says to AVERT YOUR EYES.
@@brittany1370it was like 1400 years ago, it was normal in that era! And there's no solid proof that says she was 6-9, some hadith says she was 18-19!
It’s sad to say, but at least in English the language is geared towards victim blaming, because it’s the least ‘scary’ option of the two… it’s much easier to blame the victim than to accept that there is evil and as Stephanie puts it monsters in this world… We saw in Australia recently when a man locked his wife and kids on a car and burned them alive… the language that was used was disgusting, like the man was so stressed out by the wife and kids and that’s why he did it… it’s weird and sad… but it’s just a reality of English… Dno about other languages though…
People were taking like that because she was not their daughter and these disgusting Bastards don't care if u r wearing a hijab or not. They will do what they want

I'm a girl living in Pakistan and when this case was covered in the news, I was 12 and didn't know what was happening but I can clearly remember my mom crying so much after hearing the little girl's case and my parents restricted me from going outside at any cost, so much time has passed and I'm 18 now and I still stay indoors. I'm scared to go outside and have social anxiety. If I have to go outside I'm really concious of everything and can't go outside alone. This case affected every kid's mentality. May Zainab rest in peace.
This is not happening only in Pakistan. These predators are exist in USA, Europe & in whole world too. There are many documentaries available on youtube about girls, boys and women rape and killed in many countries. But ir should be stoped.
history has proven repetitive and gross by those in power. luckily, just like how drugs and terrible sex crimes/murder was even worse in the 1920s and improved by the 80's, 2020's crimes will be put on a map and hopefully, found unlawful, disgusting and changed FASTER than the before times =/. those officers should be in jail
@@NDJunction idk how they even live with knowing if they've done their job, these kids wouldn't have lost their lives. And the most crazy part is that there are still cops out there sitting on their a## doing nothing while their community is dying.
I feel so bad for the little 10 year old boy, imagine if you’re a little kid and your whole life you have that guilt in your heart thinking that your little cousin went missing because of you
@@sanchitagolder Google says, "Subhanahu wa ta'ala" translates as "Glory to Him, the Exalted" or "Glorious and Exalted Is He." In saying or reading the name of Allah, the shorthand of "SWT" indicates an act of reverence and devotion toward God.
This is the angriest I’ve ever been about a case. I know all countries have their corruption, but when you were talking about how the police were annoyed by getting another SA case I almost exploded. Is it really just a game to them? Children’s lives are on the line and you’re more concerned about getting a non SA case just because you get it so often???
okay i am from pakistan i completly agree like i have witnessted a kidnap but i could not do anything since it was pretty normal there like srslly plus thats one reason why they dont ever let kids go out after 5 o clock
@@sandelyorkisKJENFKJSEND It may be a cultural, or personal difference, but if there are so many crimes and the police are useless in Pakistan, isn't there any vigilante justice? I mean, looking at the footage Pakistani people aren't against being violent toward police. In Polish, we have a saying: 'nóż się w kieszeni otwiera' - a knife opens in my pocket. As I was listening to this case, that was the feeling I had. The knife was opening in my pocket, because of anger, because some deserve the knife.
You guys have nothing to be ashamed of! I understand as the people you guys should have authorities listening, but there’s just so little you can do to stand up to those kinds of people in power. I grew up in areas where human trafficking was common which lead to my parents being incredibly strict on being self reliant. In fact I’m more angry for you guys than at you guys, I’m so sorry you guys have to grow up not trusting the police. You guys were so brave for standing up to the police despite having the chance of getting hurt, I hope one day you will have justice and peace I truly do.
You can love yourself and your country and still be ashamed of the corruption in leadership. It's that love and pride for yourself and your country that gives people courage to stand up to defend the values of the people. That's from where revolutions come. I pray people get the justice they deserve in the end. There is no cause more pure and just than protecting your country's children from evil. They are your future. The ones who carry the torch when you are no longer able.
Not downplaying any of these sad heart breaking stories .. my heart aches for all of the victims in all of these stories.. but statistically speaking, she can do this for the rest of her life and it’ll still be negligible next to 7 billion people.. it’s says little about this world if you think about it
Hey Stephanie! As a Pakistani, i can tell you this incident shook the whole country, especially women of the country. We already are scared everyday, but it was the breaking point. Thank you for being so respectable towards the culture of the country, but unfortunately most of the times it is this damning culture that allows so many vultures to roam free , knowing that there are so many loopholes in the legal system and the shame attached to the whole overdeal. Please cover Noor Muqadam's case as well.
True and after noor mukaddam's case, I was so traumatized to the point that I stopped going outside and would freak out if a man looked and me and same was the case with other women I knew.
As a Pakistani girl I can understand the pain personally. I remember that when I started going to school my father would take me to school and stand there for like 10 mins after I went in and he would be there to pick me up 15 mins before the school would end. For the begging 4 years of school I thought that my dad is always standing right outside my school. When I played in the street outside my house my mom would be there with me and my dad would take me out in the evening for a walk in the market. Like I was never left alone, my parents were always around me. As I grew up I realized why.
Your father was obviously very aware of the dangers that exist. He probably knows well the propensity of sexual violence that emanates in the society there. No place is safe for girls and woman any more, anywhere.
Yes and I’m a Pakistani who lives in Australia but when I went overseas to visit. me and my girl cousins weren’t allowed out as much and had to limit it my brother would always go places but we weren’t as privileged
Having daddy issues made this young man torture and molest little girls? Huh…you’d think he’d go beat up and harm older men then you’d think wouldn’t it?
Its always easier for most men to shift blame others and on the vulnerables, instead of taking accountabilities, these type of men are not men, not even close to animals. This is a monster, a cowardly one
Perhaps he hated his father and once he had died, got mad that he couldn't have killed him himself and just went on a spree, because wow.. he just seemed so vengeful and looked like he was projecting his anger onto those young girls, sickening and sad
You’re a gifted storyteller. I was crying at the very beginning. As a mom, I can imagine my baby girl skipping down a street wearing a pink puffy coat. This is horrible and terrifying. These poor people and communities…I wish there was something we could do.
as a Pakistani, i really wanted to say how thankful i am that you covered this case. the amount of details you have in your videos is unmatched by any TH-camr out there ❤
As a Pakistani,🇵🇰 I was waiting impatiently for her to cover a Pakistani crime case. I was also a kid when this case came out and it was so traumatizing thing for a kid of my age. I sincerely wanted her to cover Javed Iqbal case, he assaulted more than 100 kids and murdered them then thrown their bodies in the acid.It's one of the worsts case in the history of the whole world. And I really appreciate how much effort you put in every single case. Love you so much Stephanie 💕
The fact that you always start off a case by telling us that if we are feeling low we should work on some selfcare and come back to the case later, has never once failed to brighten my day, no matter how horrific the case. It reminds me that some people still care. Thank you for that.
As a mom listening to this with headphones and seeing my 6 year old little girl play and giggle I couldn't hold in my tears through most of this video. Their pain burns in my throat, I couldn't imagine the helplessness of their situation much less to come out of it so strong. That poor baby and so many others like her didn't deserve to cross paths with such evil. I hope they can find peace.
I'm sitting next to my 5yo daughter stroking her hair and silently crying. I would die if this happened to her. If not from a broken heart, surely by my own hand. The part about the mother praying in the mosque broke me. How strong she must be to continue on for her other babies.
guys I wish the best for all of ur little ones I hope they always stay safe and happy but I am a 13-year-old girl and I had gotten kidnapped almost so I can understand but pls i hope u feel safe to send the kids out (thech the kids how to be safe in public places ) nobody deserve to go through this monstrosity
as a muslim male its still mind blowing to me that there is still some muslim out there blaming the kid. “she should wear a hijab” is the most stupidest thing ive heard so far. how could you tell that to a 7 YEAR OLD GIRL???? she cant even think rationally and u blame her for not wearing a hijab??? the saddest thing is there is hundreds could be THOUSANDS of hijabi muslim that could potentially be a r*pe victim too. so what is the point here? the problem here is men that dont have self-control over their lust.
Literally i am not muslim (but jewish so 10 commandments and all that, and has similar issues w shaming women/victims) but it seems like the whole point of having rules against unguarded lust, etc, shouldnt be to shame the victims of those behaviors but to hold accountable the perpetrators… protect society & families from the pain & evil that s*x offenses , infidelity, etc cause. values that are antithetical to blaming the most innocent possible, a literal child. she probably didnt even understand those aspects of hijab yet. Its so heartbreaking, may her memory be a blessing forever.
as a muslim, i know even i couldn't have described hajj and islam so beautifully and respectfully as you did. huge respect! i don't know how you manage to be so thorough and kind and respectful in every case while posting so many of them a month. you're truly a blessing! thank you for all you do!
I was a six years old wearing a small hijab and a dress when a man took advantage of my ignorance on sexual matters, it happened again with a different man when i was in sixth grade wearing a black malhafe (a cloth that covers everything like a tint except for the face and handa). "It wouldn't have happened if she was wearing hijab", they say
I hope you’re doing okay now, I’m sorry that happened. I know that “I’m sorry” doesn’t fix shit, but just know that a stranger on the internet cares about you platonically
To lose a child is horrible but to lose a child through violence??? I can’t even fathom the pain. This story was just sad to listen. Prayers to her family. May she Rest in Peace.
"Privileged is disguised as moral superiority " I love that you said that some people don't get it we are so privileged in many ways so much that it blinds us
@@HoshiHamsterrr It means that some people in some countries like the US think they are so mentally superior than others and call them dangerous and stupid for not doing some things that seem evident to them but in reality it is not mental superiority it is just privilege,which means they got lucky to live in a society that is more understanding and to live in countries that actually care to protect their citizens. For example in this case some people may say that the parents of the victims were very foolish and careless because they did not make the case public in time but if these same people who criticized them lived in their place and had the same education they would think and do the same thing these parents did
All this could have been prevented if the parents or adult family members took the child from point a to point b. Instead of treating the child like an adult and having her walk to class with another child that can not protect her. To me it’s simple math, I don’t need to live in a privileged country to know that not letting a child walk alone anywhere has a better outcome, then letting them walk alone. Kidnapping can happen in any country privileged or not. Especially since kidnappings can even happen in your own home, kids shouldn’t be going anywhere alone (without adult supervision)
@@Jubajourney So, you're from the US. In the rest of the western world, you know, those countries that on average have a higher standard of living AND a lower rate of serious crimes (including with children as victims) it's absolutely normal to let your child walk a known way alone. Taking the bus, riding a bike to the store, to school, walk to a friend, or the playground etc. "Coincidentally" children here are overall more self aware, more independent, more confident. And there are less incidents. And everywhere in the world, victim blaming is a sure sign of an insecure dimwitted ass.
@@naomichan8847those poeple aren't superior but their society is definitely superior where they actually care to protect their citizens and are understanding
Stephanie I love that you wore pink shirt, such a beautiful tribute to Zainab 💗 I’m bawling my eyes out while listening to cases you cover. You talk with so much empathy and in a considerate way l’m so thankful I found your channel
I am a Pakistani woman and this took me right back to 2018 where I had freshly turned 18 and was seeing all this unfold on the news. Everyday was an emotional battle, I don’t think we’ve ever recovered from this as a nation. I remember her face as clear as my mother’s. A beautiful child who was wronged and will never be forgotten. You can also look into Noor Mukaddam’s case and the motorway r*pe cases. As a female, I’m still traumatised from all these events.
I remember similar cases happening in a small village in Mexico and when the police didn’t help the people rounded up the group of monsters who were involved and one by one tortured and even killed them. No one in the village said a word when questioned by the police….the people stood by each other and finally found peace.
I applaud the people who took this matter in their own hands. While listening to this case my emotions were getting in my way n I was always thinking if god forbid this happened to someone I knew in my neighborhood I wouldn't care about the final outcome all I know is that I'm getting rid of these monsters myself. You gotta clear the place and get rid of the dirt if the authorities fail you.
As a Pakistani, living in islamabad, this is absolutely disgusting! The police really is extremely careless around here! I do not blame the people of kasur reacting like that!
I came to the US when I was 5, my family is originally from Afghanistan but we lived in Islamabad before coming to the US... One day a whole bunch of police came to our neighbors in Pakistans house , then walked him out. My parents were confused on what was going on, for days they didn't see the neighbor.. come to find out he was a child killer and kept all his victims bodies in his basement,and was eating them .. and I have 4 other brothers and a sister. The whole time us 6 kids were living next to this kidnapper/killer. Around 9 years old is when my mom told us.. there was a masjid near our house at the time and I remember really well the day all of the people in the town went and were praying and crying, but I didn't know at 5 years old why until I turned that age.
@@vythaoonguyen586 yea I always wondered whatever happened to that guy. Did he die. Is he still in jail. Did they let him out. But yea my parents were damn scared because he was always outside when us kids were playing. He was probably looking at us like we were dinner 😭
@@Fjk2134omg luckily you and your siblings didn‘t get victimised😢 My parents are from Afghanistan too btw and my family used to live in Islamabad so I went there too, thankfully I didn‘t experience such horrible things.
As a Pakistani, you don’t even know how thankful I am to see you covering this case. I remember watching it everyday on the news without knowing what really happened but feeling so disgusted and disappointed. Thank you do much for all your efforts in including so many details to this case.
ikrrr. I was actively watching news and tbh about this gang, I don't think they ever talked about it. I was clueless as to what happened to the poor girl even after watching the news for months. They're useless ngl, their interest is in just nawaz, Bhutto and Imran
What’s hurts the most is that police and even government officials, until the case went crazy big to the point the Malala knew of it. This isn’t a religious or cultural connection, this is just to show the corruption of the world not even just Pakistan. A lot of these girls could still be at home being children if police had gotten to work faster.
The religious end, according to this video, wanted to see justice. They said the victims should be compensated and every perp needs death penalty, or something like that according to Steph. All I know about anything regarding this circumstance is from this video and I'm convinced that if religion was more involved these monsters would have been put down properly like they deserved.
If my son ever did anything like this I would disown him. I would not be able to feel love for him again. It would hurt, and wouldn't be easy to turn my back on him, but I would not defend such disgusting behaviour.
Thank you for saying this. Same here. I don’t know how parents forget that these are monsters that they birthed and try defending them. It’s hard but looking past that is very important. They aren’t normal human beings.
as a pakistani i was 12 when this case happened and now i'm 18. the public stood alongside each other everywhere you would go you would hear about her on every news channel social media platform. this case changed us as nation
Back in around 1980’s , in Pakistan, city was Lahore. A boy named Papu was kidnapped, raped n murdered . The killer was not only caught within few days but was given a public execution and his body was left there for 3 days to rot further. From that day untill next 10 years not a single crime case against kids was reported.
Lahore in 1980 had a population of around 3 million people and one of the most explosive growth rates in history, and in an entire decade between millions of people, you don't think any crimes were being committed against children? What an unbelievably stupid thing to say, or even think for that matter. If you're gonna state something outlandish in the future, a good idea would be to present some actual factual evidence or citations. There were made many studies in specifically Lahore on the topics of domestic child abuse and child sexual abuse back in the 1980's... 1. applications.emro.who.int/imemrf/Pakistan.J.Health_1992_19_23.pdf 2. go.gale.com/ps/i.do?id=GALE%7CA259960768&sid=googleScholar&v=2.1&it=r&linkaccess=abs&issn=10160604&p=HRCA&sw=w&userGroupName=anon~b6c198eb&aty=open-web-entry 3. www.researchgate.net/publication/332182081_Protection_of_Children_from_Sexual_Abuse_in_Early_Years_Education_in_Pakistan_Challenges_and_Issues 4. www.researchgate.net/publication/350130047_Child_Sexual_Abuse_in_Pakistan_Schools_A_Non-Systematic_Narrative_Literature_Review 5. journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0272684X211013151?ai=1gvoi&mi=3ricys&af=R
the saddest part is that from what i've researched, not much has really changed. another little girl, also named Zainab, was abducted, r*ped, tortured to death and then had her body mutilated. she was two years old. this happened in 2020. how many more Zainabs have to be sacrificed before little girls and boys are protected? When will the governments, not just in pakistan but all over the world, finally hear us screaming for help? or are we simply too small for them to hear us? Justice for Zainab. Justice for all victims and survivors of abuse at the hands of monsters wearing human suits.
@@Cass_the_silly_x3 yeah man.. it takes a certain type of fuckin sicko to do that to anyone, but to a two year old at that? at that point i doubt if that person is even human.
Children are so vulnerable and every time I hear cases like this it breaks my heart. It’s disgusting how some people are able to do that to young children Edit: These monsters Stripped them off their innocence 🥺. It makes me so angry. These children were supposed to be protected, loved and cared for.
Seriously, how are there so many deranged trash in this world just able to hurt in any way a child, let alone do any of these horrors to them? It's pure evil
@@bellyrubs I understand your anger at this injustice but please be aware that this behavior is not new when it comes to humans. History keeps repeating itself because people stick their heads in the sand and pretend that human beings are incapable of being violent/ cruel. There is a saying that talks about someone who denies their shadow side and therefore it grows darker and darker as a result. If you keep pretending humanity doesn't have a shadow then it will keep getting more and more intense and uncontrollable. We must open up to each other in earnest about these deep thoughts that exist within all of us and find some way to remedy the issue without shaming language. Acknowledgement is the first step.
These crimes are not 'normalized' in Pakistan. They are just hushed and not talked about because of the concept of 'honor' and subsequent shame and taboo associated with them, which is a major issue in itself. These crimes are considered horrendous in Pakistan too, just as any country in the world.
FINALLY SOMEONE COVERING THIS CASE. it was one of the most brutal cases i heard of in my country. I saw the news on tv and was terrified and scared. I would stay up at night thinking about it. It was honestly so disturbing to think about. Thank u so much Stephanie for presenting this case to your audience and explaining it with the perfect amount of detail.❤
Exactly like I'm actually crying,, I got goosebumps 😭😭 as a Pakistani I'm always so scared to even go out its literally saur scary 😭😭😭💔 (irrelevant but ur an engene yoii)
I’m a Muslim who just recently started following you and I always get emotional during your videos. You narrate these cases with such empathy and respect that I walk away feeling connected to the people involved. This one hit closer to home but I wanted to say thank you for retelling it with such kindness and grace.
You gave justice to this case in the manner you delivered it. Never have I been this emotional while listening to a case like I was listening to this. Thankyou Stephanie for being so gentle and respectful with this sensitive topic of Zaynab and the trauma she and others faced. Your respect is acknowledged and appreciated! ❤️
Please cover the case of Nayera Ashraf, a young Egyptian college student that was slaughtered in a busy street in day light infront of her college by a male student for rejecting him. This case shook Egypt, started many conversations about abuse against women & unfortunately inspired a series of men to do the same. The death sentence was executed this year, yet it's sickening the amount of people that made excuses for him, blaming the victim & even paying the biggest most corrupted lawyer in the country to defend him.
😮😮😮 What is wrong with some men?? How can they claim to "love" someone and yet be ready to kill them so violently? I don't get it... they are truly deranged!!
@milica4209 yeah definatly crazy, that's not love that's fragile masculinity. Women get rejected, cheated on all the time & we never see this kind of response. The only good thing out of this, is that the police dedicated a whole department for reporting online harassment, threats, blackmail & women are encouraged to report any weird behaviour while protecting the women's identities. Still it's crazy to realise you are not really safe any where.
As a Pakistani, I want to thank you Stephanie for covering this heart wrenching case. This is the case that shook the nation and Zainab deserved so much better 🥺
I'm praying for you and all the children in Pakistan. I pray that things are getting better. This is heartbreaking and I'm sorry that you have horrible police officers that are not taking this seriously❤
this was a big case in Pakistan. I haven’t seen any foreigners covering this. Seeing you cover stories from different parts of the world, being true to yourself, your emotions to showing respect for other cultures and religions, you’re amazing ❤
As a Muslim I have to say that I have never ever in my entire life heard a non Muslim TH-camr speak that beautiful respectfully about our religion. You always show and prove to the world how amazing you are! You always make my day ☺️ My prayers go out to all victims. May their souls rest in peace and may their families be able to somehow cope with the trauma and pain 🙏🏽 I love all your content. Thanks for spreading awareness on not only American cases. You are the best!
As a Pakistani, I found your words so respectful. Thank you for being so open minded and sharing the good parts, like Haj, which are things a lot of people overlook.
"As a Pakistani"...blah blah. Most Pakistanis will come here to defend and pimp their religion instead of talking about actual issue. As a Pakistani American, Pakistani people's priorities are screwed up. I'm so grateful I'm out of that stone age place still practicing stone age rituals.
I remember this case.... Being a girl in Pakistan I remember the outrage and the agony that everyone went through. Everyone called her their blue eyed girl. The government and the police failed her. Thank you Stephanie for covering this case so amazingly and respectfully
@@Turtlecat911Things have gotten worse. Search up Noor Muqaddams case, Search up the monster of Lahore. After this case, It has only gotten worse. You’ll go out in a burqa fully covered & still have 100 stares. Hate living here.
@@Turtlecat911i am Pakistani and i remember that after this case happened my mother didnt even let me go out to play with my neighbourhood friends and i myself was scared to go out after this horrific incident. And i also remember schools around my area were closed for 3 days or smthg. But even after this case nothing abt our country changed. Like after a few weeks, everything went back to normal, like nothing even happened. Horrible cases like these didnt stop happening and the gov and the police were still corrupt (and they’re still corrupt till this day). And whenever i go out, i cant even dress nicely for myself bc im scared of the men around. They stare at women and young girls like they’ve never seen a female before. Literally more than half of the ppl in this country want to leave this country bc of how horrible it is living here.
@@dezcircus that's sad. Everyone needs to protest to get new laws in place. It's sad when you own government doesn't gaf, so you have to protest, and riot to get something done. People end up hurt or even dead during riots. It's like HELLO can u guys give a shit about your citizens? or is that too damn hard for you?? Same to the police. GET A DIFF DAMN JOB, if you don't want to do your. Not doing your job as a police officer is unacceptable. Even slacking off is unacceptable. You were put in that position to PROTECT the civilians. SO DO THAT or GTFO
"Maybe there's a country where CP is not illegal" yes, there is. Equatorial Guinea. They consequently have a problem with tourists flying in for the sole purpose of abusing children, making videos and selling them on the dark net. A friend of mine is a forensic psychologist and trust me, you don't want to know more than that about this.
Please thank your friend and let him know there are people who love him for what he does. I pray he finds comfort in knowing he's doing the most important work in the world. Bless him always. ❤
I’m so thankful to you for talking about every victim as the person they are rather than just another statistic. Including things about her personality and her family makes us realise just how grave this loss was. If media covered the cases like this no one would be able to distance themselves and sit silent.
As a Muslim I thank you for the good honest representation of the religion. I am not from Pakistan so I don't know much about the Pakistani culture but the way you talked about the religion shows that you did your best to research it and give a fair representation based on facts not feelings and stereotypes like most media outlets do.
You, have just flourished Stephanie, over the years, im so proud of you!!! Great content as always ❤ Thank you for being the voice , for the voiceless ❤
Hi Stephanie. I am Zainab from Pakistan and been following you for 4 years. This case was so so heartbreaking and scary for all of us and sadly the situation here is worse. I am so glad that you covered this case. Love you from Pakistan.
I was really happy when I heard how the whole of Pakistan collectively stood together behind the parents and stood against the police. Indeed, if people are united like this more often towards a good cause, the world would be a much better place.
Can we just talk about how Stephanie still researches the case thoroughly despite how heart-breaking it is and then uploads the best videos explaining them? Literally amazing💗 And clearing up the religious and cultural stereotypes💗 RIP in Heaven Zainab💗💗 and thank you Stephanie💗
She has researchers....................... give them credit... she literally says at the beginning of every video that she had researchers and writers... Stephanie is the host....
It's crazy how this is the same country where someone can get death penalty for blasphemy but turns into a blind eye in actual crimes. Loved the video Stephanie!
I’m a Pakistani , this is true . Our nation is emotion driven to say it into simpler words . You do blasphemy, the people will hunt u down in the name of religion , but at the same time these people are taking part in corruption, bribery , interest and many more worse things which are all equally forbidden in Islam . The police although helps to a certain extent , most of the time the perpetrators and more powerful than the police . Pakistan is that Islamic country , where justice differs based on the wealth and influence of the person .
@@Erica.N24 No one said it's not but the fact that you try to reverse it on a video that talks specifically about Pakistan and an issue that they have is alarming. No country is perfect but you can't overturn something like this when a country is trying to make changes. Just accept it or does it hurt you because it's the truth? No American cried because of your comment but you're the only one being offended because someone speaks truth about an issue of a country.
@@dbfjjdbdb.2091 hahaha! I'm not hurt. Edit: I didn't tried to reverse it, rather just to mention its happening all over the globe (which is a bad thing no matter the country). However, this was an old case and she posted it again. That's why I wondered what can be the purpose? Later, I go through the channel and got the right idea that this person (the owner of this channel), is posting such incidents from many other countries as well. That's make sense, otherwise, if the people of the country will see what was in the past and emerged again, then it will definitely a thing. Hope everyone got my point now. Saying your point, "No country is perfect", yes, that's the point!
seeing this, it would be insightful if you talked about the murder of noor mukadam; another pakistani that was tortured brutally with a knuckleduster and then decapitated the fact she was able to free herself from the murderer and made multiple attempts to escape and could've lived but the guardsmen didnt let her leave is just fucking insane
i was just about to comment this. it was so horrifying and the fact that it’s practically forgotten by the media now is proof of how vile and powerful these rich families in pakistan are.
As a Pakistani, this case really brings tears to my eyes. It’s so sad How can people do this without feeling any remorse 😞 Thank you for describing this case very well! And I wasn’t offended or anything you did it really respectfully 💕
@@TheLalalalani I didn’t say that. I said as a Pakistani this brings tears to my eyes because I can’t believe someone in our country would do something like this because in our religion it’s haram to do that and is a big sin and basically everyone follows it and it’s rly shocking that someone would do that in our country because it’s not that common and it happened in our country.
Im so proud of you and so thankful for you handling this case with so much respect, research and taking the time and effort to understand the cultural and religious contexts of the situations Its hardwork and no one has presented this case as good as you Thank you
hi stephanie, i reached out to multiple true crime youtubers for this but no one actually cared. in Turkey, we have a really serious femicide rate and it would be so so helpful to raise international awareness for it. maybe you can make a video about the most famous one, Bergen? i would happily help you with translation and such for the sources.
@@WallFlower08 i personally reached out to one on instagram and she said she would look into it, its been over a year. but youre right, they must be getting thousands of messages and comments everyday and they already have a list to go over.
This isn’t a Pakistani issue, this isn’t a US issue, this is a global issue- the governments and police forces are corrupt! Just imagine all the pain it would have saved if the police did their jobs the first time or second time it happened. I’m glad that abuser is dead and I’m sorry those other men haven’t joined him. Most of all I’m sorry to the families that have lost their children lives or innocence to those monsters.
I’m so sorry but it’s a U.S Issue as well as international issue do you know that the sexual exploitation of children is the fastest growing international crime network and most probably has surpassed the drug trade do you understand how grave that is. I am Mexican and do you know how many children are lost trafficked in sex rings all around Latino America and then when they can’t work are killed and their organs sold on the black market for more profit to these dirty perpetrators. The U.S is just as bad and we don’t bat an eye towards these suffering victims. They make movies on child trafficking to open the general public’s eyes and they criticize making remarks like it doesn’t happen that much but oh yes it does in your own neighborhoods they would rather go see Barbie.
There’s a massive difference with the US law enforcement and the Pakistan law enforcement… of course there are issues with different cases and ares of law enforcement… but there are way more checks and balances in the US and now body cams… majority of law enforcement are good men and women who protect and serve their communities. Of course there are bad ppl in every line of work… law enforcement is no different…. But stop using the few to represent the many. Especially when it comes to children… there’s no way in hell there would be this many children going missing and turned up dead and cops in the US would ignore the parents of a missing girl.
Hearing you say she was born in 2010 made me so sad. I was born in 2010 and I feel so weird… I don’t know how to explain it☹️ she would turn 14 this year. I truly wish the absolute best for the victims families and may all the victims rest in peace 🕊️
I'm so happy that someone finally covered a Pakistani case. That little girl deserved better. As a Pakistani living in Pakistan I find it so horrible and scary like it could've happened to anyone living in Pakistan and the fact that I know it has happened in my own country I literally feel not safe and I feel like in most parts of the world, the police, the people that are supposed to protect you are taking no action.
fr my heart broke when the judicial sytem, the police ,the people who are supposed to protect us failed to do their only job.it's so unfair.what ddid we even do to deserve a country like this.
@@HoshiHamsterrr especially for women; and its like if youre from lower or middle class, you don't even think you'll get justice. The only option is to get out of this country
@@kimhyung9243 frr we deserve to be provided with a safe environment but unfortunately it's impossibe in a country like this. i really want to leave this country and i will.but then again i think about countless homeless children who don't even have food at their tables let alone an oppertunity to study and get away from this country.i want to become successful but i also want to come back for these children.
I love the way you respectfully told this case, the information you explained about Islam and Pakistan is so beautiful. As a Pakistani and a Muslim, I appreciate you so much ❤
7 year old SA'd and killed..? The world is disgusting. I hope the family is... Okay? That's so sad. Thank you for sharing these stories. You have to be a different type of cruel to assault, torture, and murder a little girl. The demons even fear their psychopathy. I'm not religious in the slightest so take my words with a grain of salt but, Maybe Allah gave the people of Pakistan a martyr so things would change for his daughters.
Don't say his daughters because in Islam God has no son/kids, no parents and no partner but call her his follower/his people, etc. Also I don't believe Allah would do that but instead the evil of people and what it caused when the govertment doesn't do its job and the people stand and watch. The quran says if someone is watching oppression happen in front od them and do nothing then they are part of the oppressors
I'm from Pakistan and the media held back most of the actual report. Dr Shahid Masood who actually investigated the case was harressed for couples of years to remain silent. Even he was tortured. The doctor and the staff who prepared the autopsy report were deeply hurt as Zainab's no body part was unharmed. May Allah bless her and her family
@@Coffeegirl739seriously?? Pls do some research on how many unsolved serial killers cases are in other counties too. So easy to point fingers without proper knowledge and information. By the way I am not a Pakistani so this reply is not coming from an emotional standpoint.
@@Coffeegirl739Stuff like this happens all the time, even in America. Law enforcement is rife with either people who are corrupt or just straight up lazy. Sure, there are some here and there that actually care and give it their all, but sometimes the power trip just takes over and they just don't care. It's sad.
I listened to this on Spotify and I really appreciate that Stephanie gave out a disclaimer about the Islamaphobia this case causes. I see Islamaphobia a lot on social media these days sadly and this case makes me sick and I would hate for people to associate our religion with this heart-breaking case. So thank you Stephanie for covering this important case so nicely! We should definitely explain to our kids where strangers should never touch them and encourage them to speak up!
i love how mindful stephanie is of stereotypes as well, and talks about the good side of south asia and the culture as well bc the media always only shows the bad sides
Yes, western countries (especially the USA) are often reporting on news in other countries with moral superiority and patronizing/racist tones. I find it particularly troubling how both liberal and conservative news both paint China and India as villianous imperial monsters, which makes life harder for Asian Americans regardless of ethnicity (many Americans don't separate skin color from foreign countries and treat us all as spies, even those in my age group mid 20s). I find cultural appreciation great as long as people don't demean/discriminate against the people from the culture.
I'm so glad someone is finally talking about this! Pakistan has had many cases involving SA and missing children everyone has seemed to just brush it off as if it was a normal thing. Thank you for bringing this to light!
I’m usually not one to bash an entire profession, but it feels like case after case, and in country after country, the police fail hard AF at doing their jobs. It’s infuriating! I’ve listened to so many of Stephanie’s podcasts, and the cops range from ridiculously incompetent to being involved in the crime somehow.
Alot of times the police profession is filled with very ignorant people. The qualification to apply for the job is low. Am not trying to look down on people with low education qualification but it does plays a huge role. The low rank constable is bullied n when he finally get to a higher rank he does the same n the cycle continues. Low educational qualification and majority of them just not being bright individuals is one of the sole reason.
As someone who lives in Pakistan, there is something seriously wrong with the way men view women in general here. Men view their relationship with women before they even view them as their own person. Everytime my female cousins and sisters have to go out I have to tag along with them because here you can't even be safe without a guy tagging along. Both my sisters have left for London and I remember my dads exact words on the phone when he was talking about it saying 'this place isn't safe for women' it breaks my heart.
and not only this.. the men here think of having "good times" with girlfriends, using them and throwing them away.. and marrying "chaste" women only for the sake of giving their parents a slave. I'm not even joking this is the first thing they have in mind for the woman who they want to be their wife.
I'm a Pakistani. I was really young when that case came out This man was the neighbour of zainab and he also attended her funeral and was at the front line praying shamelessly
I'm from Pakistan and this case makes me sick. Our government, our police, our polticians..all have failed us. Zainab, rest in peace angel, May Allah grant you the highest rank in Jannah 💞
@@Flyingkitty1234you're disgusting of the human being to harass a religion when we are talking about such an important issue try to understand this happens in every country and in India too doesn't make it right.
This is wrong information. Quran, the book and the ONLY book Muslims are supposed to follow does NOT talk about 72 v!rgins whatsoever. This information was written in a Hadith written hundreds of years after the death of the Prophet. We have no proof that this is real since Allah SWT never said this. FAKE INFORMATION!
@@Leo_Pard_A4 bruh even people preaching about Islam do the worst sh1t ever, this Muslim guy literally touched me inappropriately despite fasting during Ramadan or whatever obviously not all Muslim people are bad, my friend is Muslim and not close to the dirty perverted Muslim guy but also my friend who was Muslim wasnt that religious whereas the guy was. People CAN BE EVIL and still support religion and go on rants about it. Supporting a religion has nothing to do with morals or ethics, good people dont do bad things despite not believing in religion
I love how she presented this story… I love how her tone is respectful when she talks about Islam… as a Muslim and a Pakistani girl, this was the most emotionally investing podcast covering zainab’s case… I was in college at the time of the incident and I cried a lot whoever I saw anything about this case on the news… and today, years later, I cried just as much… the pain never goes away… but let me tell you a heart breaking truth Stephanie… nothing has changed here in Pakistan… people might me more aware now, people might have changed but the police is the same… I guess that the only thing common all around the world… the police just doesn’t wanna do anything 💔
I was in ig 2nd grade or 3rd grade, and I didn't understood anything. My parents watched the news and immediately told me to never go near any adult who isn't them. I remembered Zainab's face tho and I got to know the full story in ig 6th or 7th grade, and it was so heartbreaking. It is so sad about what happens in Pakistan, I know it is worse in other places but still breaks my heart to see adults thinking so dirty about kids
The fact that zainab's sister was literally my class fellow in college....this case was not only gut wrenching for the city but for the whole country...this hits so close to home😢
Stephanie. This is a case from my country! This kept us up at night for months to follow. We still hurt every time we see her face! It's a cruel world we live in - one where sweet angels like her are not safe! Thank you for covering this! Love from Pakistan
I want to thank you for all the hard work you do to deep dive in these stories to give the voiceless a voice and i dont know how many times ive cried listening but the phrase "historically criminals don't care about the law" made me chuckle.
I remember this case, my mum was so upset and prayed for the family. I was only 8 and not allowed to go unattended outside the house. This was a very tragic case. When Zainab had gone missing. My family prayed for her to be found. I think about a week she was found murdered in the trash. When her body was found, the entire nation was terrified.
That is a platitude. What is moral superiority? How is saying what she said not moralising. People need to think rationally. Always apply the statement to itself. And if you want to claim, oh but it's sometimes only, then I can respond, if it's sometimes, then by definition it's not always and so it need not be now.
Thank you sooooo much Soo for covering this. There is a Pakistani drama based on this story, it's called 'meri guriya' and it did receive backlash due to the 'culture' and breech of 'norms', 'modesty', and 'taboo'. Your video will hit the audience who culturally and ethnically relate; living in the west, causing them to be aware of these topics too. I'm so glad you did it I really am. ❤
I’ve watched so many of Stephanie’s videos but this one never fails to make me cry. It’s so heartbreaking and the way it is told, from understanding the cultural and religious background to hurting for the family just breaks my heart
She was such an angel. My heart goes out to her parents. When i saw that CCTV footage of Zainab holding the hand of a strange man and trustingly skipping along beside him with no idea of the dangers which were about to befall her, my body went cold. Please please please, all parents … teach your children not to talk to strangers …and certainly not to take their hand and go wherever they may lead.
I remember watching headlines throughout the timeline of this case... i also remember not being... this much affected (i feel awful for this) maybe cuz i was not as mature... but today... your video made me cry multiple times... your words... your careful consideration of all the factors involved...you made me realize the full horro of this case. You have done a tremendous job at covering the story of Zainab.
I am a pakistani girl and I was around 14 15 when this happened and I remember everyone was talking about this case here in pakistan but because of the awkwardness surrounding such topics in conservative societies like ours, I only knew that a child named zainab was kidnapped and raped and then the culprit was eventually caught and hanged. I never knew these details I got to know from you and the way I was crying throughout this entire video. My heart just shattered into pieces. All I can say is may Allah make it easy for her family and bless them with the best in this world and the hereafter💔 May this angel named zainab rests in heaven(انشاء الله) and may my country never experience anything like this again💔💔 thank you stephanie for presenting zainab's case in such detail and also for being such respectful towards Islam and Muslims. You are among a very very few non muslims I have come across on internet who have actually done their research about Islam and Muslims and then formed an impression rather than just pointlessly portraying muslims as terrorists and extremists. You have gained my respect❤
I started balling my goddamn eyes out when she explained how the father had lost his little girl, and now he can’t enjoy his birthday without feeling the guilt that she’s not there..🙁
Honestly at 26:30 I’m so happy my cousin learnt to defend herself when random men just touched her shoulder , she got out her shoe and SCREAMED “how dare you touch me , who do you think you are” also at one of the posters at 49:36 it states one of the cities which I am genuinely very aware about
What a heartbreaking case. As a Muslim, it is infuriating to see people say " She should have worn hijab", first of all, Islam states to avert your eye if you see something you find inappropriate, which is a rule that MANY men totally ignore and shift the blame on women when such cases occur. Second of all, this is a CHILD; she is not by any means obligated to wear hijab, and even if she did, again, Islam says to AVERT YOUR EYES.

How do you victim blame a 7 year old girl? Its mind-blowing!
This case turned my stomach. Little girls thrown away like garbage, just despicable.
I’m just waiting for them to victim blame animals at this point
It’s sad to say, but at least in English the language is geared towards victim blaming, because it’s the least ‘scary’ option of the two… it’s much easier to blame the victim than to accept that there is evil and as Stephanie puts it monsters in this world…
We saw in Australia recently when a man locked his wife and kids on a car and burned them alive… the language that was used was disgusting, like the man was so stressed out by the wife and kids and that’s why he did it… it’s weird and sad… but it’s just a reality of English… Dno about other languages though…
People were taking like that because she was not their daughter and these disgusting Bastards don't care if u r wearing a hijab or not. They will do what they want
Exactly. She is a child. This is beyond heartbreaking that a child can’t be a child anymore

I'm a girl living in Pakistan and when this case was covered in the news, I was 12 and didn't know what was happening but I can clearly remember my mom crying so much after hearing the little girl's case and my parents restricted me from going outside at any cost, so much time has passed and I'm 18 now and I still stay indoors. I'm scared to go outside and have social anxiety. If I have to go outside I'm really concious of everything and can't go outside alone. This case affected every kid's mentality. May Zainab rest in peace.
I am so sorry this made my heart shatter more knowing girls and younger children are afraid from cases like these I hope you are doing well
That’s so sad.. but glad you are safe.. bless you
This is not happening only in Pakistan. These predators are exist in USA, Europe & in whole world too. There are many documentaries available on youtube about girls, boys and women rape and killed in many countries. But ir should be stoped.

The police made this possible. They're just as evil as the criminal.
history has proven repetitive and gross by those in power. luckily, just like how drugs and terrible sex crimes/murder was even worse in the 1920s and improved by the 80's, 2020's crimes will be put on a map and hopefully, found unlawful, disgusting and changed FASTER than the before times =/. those officers should be in jail

This is the angriest I’ve ever been about a case. I know all countries have their corruption, but when you were talking about how the police were annoyed by getting another SA case I almost exploded.

@@sandelyorkisKJENFKJSEND It may be a cultural, or personal difference, but if there are so many crimes and the police are useless in Pakistan, isn't there any vigilante justice? I mean, looking at the footage Pakistani people aren't against being violent toward police.
In Polish, we have a saying: 'nóż się w kieszeni otwiera' - a knife opens in my pocket. As I was listening to this case, that was the feeling I had. The knife was opening in my pocket, because of anger, because some deserve the knife.
You guys have nothing to be ashamed of! I understand as the people you guys should have authorities listening, but there’s just so little you can do to stand up to those kinds of people in power. I grew up in areas where human trafficking was common which lead to my parents being incredibly strict on being self reliant.
In fact I’m more angry for you guys than at you guys, I’m so sorry you guys have to grow up not trusting the police. You guys were so brave for standing up to the police despite having the chance of getting hurt, I hope one day you will have justice and peace I truly do.
You can love yourself and your country and still be ashamed of the corruption in leadership. It's that love and pride for yourself and your country that gives people courage to stand up to defend the values of the people. That's from where revolutions come. I pray people get the justice they deserve in the end. There is no cause more pure and just than protecting your country's children from evil. They are your future. The ones who carry the torch when you are no longer able.

@wonnieluv_ right? she was so respectful too and she had empathy but not enough to make faults with her reporting 😭❤
True and after noor mukaddam's case, I was so traumatized to the point that I stopped going outside and would freak out if a man looked and me and same was the case with other women I knew.
As a Pakistani girl I can understand the pain personally. I remember that when I started going to school my father would take me to school and stand there for like 10 mins after I went in and he would be there to pick me up 15 mins before the school would end. For the begging 4 years of school I thought that my dad is always standing right outside my school. When I played in the street outside my house my mom would be there with me and my dad would take me out in the evening for a walk in the market. Like I was never left alone, my parents were always around me. As I grew up I realized why.
Your father was obviously very aware of the dangers that exist. He probably knows well the propensity of sexual violence that emanates in the society there. No place is safe for girls and woman any more, anywhere.
Yes and I’m a Pakistani who lives in Australia but when I went overseas to visit. me and my girl cousins weren’t allowed out as much and had to limit it my brother would always go places but we weren’t as privileged

Having daddy issues made this young man torture and molest little girls? Huh…you’d think he’d go beat up and harm older men then you’d think wouldn’t it?
the cowardly like to hurt the young, weak, and vulnerable
Its always easier for most men to shift blame others and on the vulnerables, instead of taking accountabilities, these type of men are not men, not even close to animals. This is a monster, a cowardly one
It wasn't daddy issues. He was a diagnosed psychopath.
Perhaps he hated his father and once he had died, got mad that he couldn't have killed him himself and just went on a spree, because wow.. he just seemed so vengeful and looked like he was projecting his anger onto those young girls, sickening and sad
Maybe it wasn't an emotional reason. It could be that his father's existence didn't make it possible for him.
You’re a gifted storyteller.
I was crying at the very beginning. As a mom, I can imagine my baby girl skipping down a street wearing a pink puffy coat. This is horrible and terrifying. These poor people and communities…I wish there was something we could do.

Literally i am not muslim (but jewish so 10 commandments and all that, and has similar issues w shaming women/victims) but it seems like the whole point of having rules against unguarded lust, etc, shouldnt be to shame the victims of those behaviors but to hold accountable the perpetrators… protect society & families from the pain & evil that s*x offenses , infidelity, etc cause. values that are antithetical to blaming the most innocent possible, a literal child. she probably didnt even understand those aspects of hijab yet.

may Allah give you ease from that horrible experience, my condolences
So sorry that happened to you 😔
To lose a child is horrible but to lose a child through violence??? I can’t even fathom the pain. This story was just sad to listen. Prayers to her family. May she Rest in Peace.
"Privileged is disguised as moral superiority " I love that you said that some people don't get it we are so privileged in many ways so much that it blinds us
can you please tell me what it means
@@HoshiHamsterrr
It means that some people in some countries like the US think they are so mentally superior than others and call them dangerous and stupid for not doing some things that seem evident to them but in reality it is not mental superiority it is just privilege,which means they got lucky to live in a society that is more understanding and to live in countries that actually care to protect their citizens.
For example in this case some people may say that the parents of the victims were very foolish and careless because they did not make the case public in time but if these same people who criticized them lived in their place and had the same education they would think and do the same thing these parents did
All this could have been prevented if the parents or adult family members took the child from point a to point b. Instead of treating the child like an adult and having her walk to class with another child that can not protect her. To me it’s simple math, I don’t need to live in a privileged country to know that not letting a child walk alone anywhere has a better outcome, then letting them walk alone. Kidnapping can happen in any country privileged or not. Especially since kidnappings can even happen in your own home, kids shouldn’t be going anywhere alone (without adult supervision)
@@Jubajourney So, you're from the US.
In the rest of the western world, you know, those countries that on average have a higher standard of living AND a lower rate of serious crimes (including with children as victims) it's absolutely normal to let your child walk a known way alone. Taking the bus, riding a bike to the store, to school, walk to a friend, or the playground etc. "Coincidentally" children here are overall more self aware, more independent, more confident. And there are less incidents.
And everywhere in the world, victim blaming is a sure sign of an insecure dimwitted ass.
@@naomichan8847those poeple aren't superior but their society is definitely superior where they actually care to protect their citizens and are understanding
Stephanie I love that you wore pink shirt, such a beautiful tribute to Zainab 💗
I’m bawling my eyes out while listening to cases you cover. You talk with so much empathy and in a considerate way l’m so thankful I found your channel
I am a Pakistani woman and this took me right back to 2018 where I had freshly turned 18 and was seeing all this unfold on the news. Everyday was an emotional battle, I don’t think we’ve ever recovered from this as a nation. I remember her face as clear as my mother’s. A beautiful child who was wronged and will never be forgotten.
You can also look into Noor Mukaddam’s case and the motorway r*pe cases. As a female, I’m still traumatised from all these events.
❤
I remember similar cases happening in a small village in Mexico and when the police didn’t help the people rounded up the group of monsters who were involved and one by one tortured and even killed them. No one in the village said a word when questioned by the police….the people stood by each other and finally found peace.
I applaud the people who took this matter in their own hands. While listening to this case my emotions were getting in my way n I was always thinking if god forbid this happened to someone I knew in my neighborhood I wouldn't care about the final outcome all I know is that I'm getting rid of these monsters myself. You gotta clear the place and get rid of the dirt if the authorities fail you.
Heros ❤
This needs to become the norm.
This gave chills, i wanna cry, my head is heavy and hurting bwcause this is what should be done around the world.
As they should, if those placed to protect never lift a finger then you make them look like vile clowns
As a Pakistani, living in islamabad, this is absolutely disgusting! The police really is extremely careless around here! I do not blame the people of kasur reacting like that!
I came to the US when I was 5, my family is originally from Afghanistan but we lived in Islamabad before coming to the US... One day a whole bunch of police came to our neighbors in Pakistans house , then walked him out. My parents were confused on what was going on, for days they didn't see the neighbor.. come to find out he was a child killer and kept all his victims bodies in his basement,and was eating them .. and I have 4 other brothers and a sister. The whole time us 6 kids were living next to this kidnapper/killer. Around 9 years old is when my mom told us.. there was a masjid near our house at the time and I remember really well the day all of the people in the town went and were praying and crying, but I didn't know at 5 years old why until I turned that age.
@@Fjk2134 that's scary 😢
@@vythaoonguyen586 yea I always wondered whatever happened to that guy. Did he die. Is he still in jail. Did they let him out. But yea my parents were damn scared because he was always outside when us kids were playing. He was probably looking at us like we were dinner 😭
@@Fjk2134 that’s traumatizing and sickening…
@@Fjk2134omg luckily you and your siblings didn‘t get victimised😢 My parents are from Afghanistan too btw and my family used to live in Islamabad so I went there too, thankfully I didn‘t experience such horrible things.
the fact that her cousin did literally everything he was supposed to do and she still was stolen away…
As a Pakistani, you don’t even know how thankful I am to see you covering this case. I remember watching it everyday on the news without knowing what really happened but feeling so disgusted and disappointed. Thank you do much for all your efforts in including so many details to this case.
Exactly. Our news is useless. We never knew the whole story before today.
ikrrr. I was actively watching news and tbh about this gang, I don't think they ever talked about it. I was clueless as to what happened to the poor girl even after watching the news for months. They're useless ngl, their interest is in just nawaz, Bhutto and Imran
@Nohealani._.1101 honestly i agree, especially w the last part
exactly!!!!
What’s hurts the most is that police and even government officials, until the case went crazy big to the point the Malala knew of it. This isn’t a religious or cultural connection, this is just to show the corruption of the world not even just Pakistan. A lot of these girls could still be at home being children if police had gotten to work faster.
The religious end, according to this video, wanted to see justice.
They said the victims should be compensated and every perp needs death penalty, or something like that according to Steph.
All I know about anything regarding this circumstance is from this video and I'm convinced that if religion was more involved these monsters would have been put down properly like they deserved.
@@TecTitanyes I agree, it seems that the police didn’t even follow religious laws themselves and were too unbothered to get involved in anything
Sad that every country in the world can identify with this.
If my son ever did anything like this I would disown him. I would not be able to feel love for him again. It would hurt, and wouldn't be easy to turn my back on him, but I would not defend such disgusting behaviour.
Absolutely. & I’d lay down and die for my son… but something like this? This is unforgivable & can only be done by an absolute monster.
Thank you for saying this. Same here. I don’t know how parents forget that these are monsters that they birthed and try defending them. It’s hard but looking past that is very important. They aren’t normal human beings.
At first, I thought this said, "I'd drown him," and maybe it's concerning, but I thought "correct"
as a pakistani i was 12 when this case happened and now i'm 18. the public stood alongside each other everywhere you would go you would hear about her on every news channel social media platform. this case changed us as nation
Agreed
i never want to believe there are horrible monsters in my country breathing the same air as me 💔

Back in around 1980’s , in Pakistan, city was Lahore. A boy named Papu was kidnapped, raped n murdered . The killer was not only caught within few days but was given a public execution and his body was left there for 3 days to rot further. From that day untill next 10 years not a single crime case against kids was reported.
I didn't know that as Pakistani
any link where i can watch or read this case?
These are fake Whatsapp posts. Stop forwarding such fake news.
from lahore
Lahore in 1980 had a population of around 3 million people and one of the most explosive growth rates in history, and in an entire decade between millions of people, you don't think any crimes were being committed against children?
What an unbelievably stupid thing to say, or even think for that matter.
If you're gonna state something outlandish in the future, a good idea would be to present some actual factual evidence or citations. There were made many studies in specifically Lahore on the topics of domestic child abuse and child sexual abuse back in the 1980's...

the saddest part is that from what i've researched, not much has really changed. another little girl, also named Zainab, was abducted, r*ped, tortured to death and then had her body mutilated. she was two years old. this happened in 2020. how many more Zainabs have to be sacrificed before little girls and boys are protected? When will the governments, not just in pakistan but all over the world, finally hear us screaming for help? or are we simply too small for them to hear us?
Justice for Zainab. Justice for all victims and survivors of abuse at the hands of monsters wearing human suits.
Don't look at the stats for the aftermath of the war in Iraq then. Many, many children died there and continue to die.

@@bellyrubs
I understand your anger at this injustice but please be aware that this behavior is not new when it comes to humans. History keeps repeating itself because people stick their heads in the sand and pretend that human beings are incapable of being violent/ cruel.
There is a saying that talks about someone who denies their shadow side and therefore it grows darker and darker as a result. If you keep pretending humanity doesn't have a shadow then it will keep getting more and more intense and uncontrollable. We must open up to each other in earnest about these deep thoughts that exist within all of us and find some way to remedy the issue without shaming language. Acknowledgement is the first step.

Thank you so much for covering this case; we really need more attention to these normalized crimes against women in Pakistan
and children!!
These crimes are not 'normalized' in Pakistan. They are just hushed and not talked about because of the concept of 'honor' and subsequent shame and taboo associated with them, which is a major issue in itself. These crimes are considered horrendous in Pakistan too, just as any country in the world.

Thankyou Stephanie for being so gentle and respectful with this sensitive topic of Zaynab and the trauma she and others faced. Your respect is acknowledged and appreciated! ❤️
Please cover the case of Nayera Ashraf, a young Egyptian college student that was slaughtered in a busy street in day light infront of her college by a male student for rejecting him. This case shook Egypt, started many conversations about abuse against women & unfortunately inspired a series of men to do the same. The death sentence was executed this year, yet it's sickening the amount of people that made excuses for him, blaming the victim & even paying the biggest most corrupted lawyer in the country to defend him.
😮😮😮 What is wrong with some men?? How can they claim to "love" someone and yet be ready to kill them so violently? I don't get it... they are truly deranged!!
@milica4209 yeah definatly crazy, that's not love that's fragile masculinity. Women get rejected, cheated on all the time & we never see this kind of response.
The only good thing out of this, is that the police dedicated a whole department for reporting online harassment, threats, blackmail & women are encouraged to report any weird behaviour while protecting the women's identities. Still it's crazy to realise you are not really safe any where.
That is fucked....

Later, I go through the channel and got the right idea that this person (the owner of this channel), is posting such incidents from many other countries as well.

You know when you have this lump in your throat and your eyes getting progressively more teary.
This isn’t a Pakistani issue, this isn’t a US issue, this is a global issue- the governments and police forces are corrupt! Just imagine all the pain it would have saved if the police did their jobs the first time or second time it happened. I’m glad that abuser is dead and I’m sorry those other men haven’t joined him. Most of all I’m sorry to the families that have lost their children lives or innocence to those monsters.
This is more of a Pakistan issue than a US issue and you know that.
No, it is not just a "Pakistan problem" and you know it. I have heard cases from the US that is just as bad or worse as this case. So much hypochrisy.
I’m so sorry but it’s a U.S Issue as well as international issue do you know that the sexual exploitation of children is the fastest growing international crime network and most probably has surpassed the drug trade do you understand how grave that is. I am Mexican and do you know how many children are lost trafficked in sex rings all around Latino America and then when they can’t work are killed and their organs sold on the black market for more profit to these dirty perpetrators. The U.S is just as bad and we don’t bat an eye towards these suffering victims. They make movies on child trafficking to open the general public’s eyes and they criticize making remarks like it doesn’t happen that much but oh yes it does in your own neighborhoods they would rather go see Barbie.
There’s a massive difference with the US law enforcement and the Pakistan law enforcement… of course there are issues with different cases and ares of law enforcement… but there are way more checks and balances in the US and now body cams… majority of law enforcement are good men and women who protect and serve their communities. Of course there are bad ppl in every line of work… law enforcement is no different…. But stop using the few to represent the many. Especially when it comes to children… there’s no way in hell there would be this many children going missing and turned up dead and cops in the US would ignore the parents of a missing girl.
This is not a global issue, not all governments and their law enforcers are corrupt.
Hearing you say she was born in 2010 made me so sad. I was born in 2010 and I feel so weird… I don’t know how to explain it☹️ she would turn 14 this year. I truly wish the absolute best for the victims families and may all the victims rest in peace 🕊️

i’ve watched interviews of the family. they’re not okay. they went quite numb after the incident.
I don't think they'll ever be anywhere close to ok :(
For real 😢 poor girl 😞
Don't say his daughters because in Islam God has no son/kids, no parents and no partner but call her his follower/his people, etc.
Also I don't believe Allah would do that but instead the evil of people and what it caused when the govertment doesn't do its job and the people stand and watch. The quran says if someone is watching oppression happen in front od them and do nothing then they are part of the oppressors
things like this happend quite often
I'm from Pakistan and the media held back most of the actual report. Dr Shahid Masood who actually investigated the case was harressed for couples of years to remain silent. Even he was tortured. The doctor and the staff who prepared the autopsy report were deeply hurt as Zainab's no body part was unharmed. May Allah bless her and her family
And that tells me a lot about Pakistan
@@Coffeegirl739seriously?? Pls do some research on how many unsolved serial killers cases are in other counties too. So easy to point fingers without proper knowledge and information. By the way I am not a Pakistani so this reply is not coming from an emotional standpoint.
@@Coffeegirl739Stuff like this happens all the time, even in America. Law enforcement is rife with either people who are corrupt or just straight up lazy. Sure, there are some here and there that actually care and give it their all, but sometimes the power trip just takes over and they just don't care. It's sad.
@@Coffeegirl739 School shootings in America tell a lot about America too ig
@@Coffeegirl739as a Pakistani, I’ll say your right.
It’s a corrupt nation. The police force is beyond corrupt.
I listened to this on Spotify and I really appreciate that Stephanie gave out a disclaimer about the Islamaphobia this case causes. I see Islamaphobia a lot on social media these days sadly and this case makes me sick and I would hate for people to associate our religion with this heart-breaking case. So thank you Stephanie for covering this important case so nicely!
We should definitely explain to our kids where strangers should never touch them and encourage them to speak up!
i love how mindful stephanie is of stereotypes as well, and talks about the good side of south asia and the culture as well bc the media always only shows the bad sides
Yes, western countries (especially the USA) are often reporting on news in other countries with moral superiority and patronizing/racist tones. I find it particularly troubling how both liberal and conservative news both paint China and India as villianous imperial monsters, which makes life harder for Asian Americans regardless of ethnicity (many Americans don't separate skin color from foreign countries and treat us all as spies, even those in my age group mid 20s). I find cultural appreciation great as long as people don't demean/discriminate against the people from the culture.
I'm so glad someone is finally talking about this! Pakistan has had many cases involving SA and missing children everyone has seemed to just brush it off as if it was a normal thing. Thank you for bringing this to light!
I’m usually not one to bash an entire profession, but it feels like case after case, and in country after country, the police fail hard AF at doing their jobs. It’s infuriating! I’ve listened to so many of Stephanie’s podcasts, and the cops range from ridiculously incompetent to being involved in the crime somehow.
Alot of times the police profession is filled with very ignorant people. The qualification to apply for the job is low. Am not trying to look down on people with low education qualification but it does plays a huge role. The low rank constable is bullied n when he finally get to a higher rank he does the same n the cycle continues. Low educational qualification and majority of them just not being bright individuals is one of the sole reason.
Its because the police is not there to protect the public their there to protect the elite; the rich and wealthy!
I agree, that if we reconsider the standards of police trainers and trainees , maybe less of these cases would happen.
Not just the police but the courts the laws judges lawmakers are major failures too
Especially in Pakistan
As someone who lives in Pakistan, there is something seriously wrong with the way men view women in general here. Men view their relationship with women before they even view them as their own person. Everytime my female cousins and sisters have to go out I have to tag along with them because here you can't even be safe without a guy tagging along. Both my sisters have left for London and I remember my dads exact words on the phone when he was talking about it saying 'this place isn't safe for women' it breaks my heart.
Are u allowed to bring any kind of protection with you? You should think about it if u are allowed
@44H44 my cousin has a tazer she brought online so we have that just in case.
The boys aren't safe either 😢 Most of the victims were boys. This is what happens when a country is being run by goons.
I know right this is what I hate about living in Pakistan
and not only this.. the men here think of having "good times" with girlfriends, using them and throwing them away.. and marrying "chaste" women only for the sake of giving their parents a slave. I'm not even joking this is the first thing they have in mind for the woman who they want to be their wife.
That's the reason I wanna be a lawyer to fix this fucked up justice system in Pakistan
Not only in Pakistan injustice is everywhere. Search in youtube
I'm a Pakistani. I was really young when that case came out This man was the neighbour of zainab and he also attended her funeral and was at the front line praying shamelessly
How shameless of him! He had the AUDACITY to go to her funeral!!
@@haya.straykids yes he had. Heck, he literally used to "search" her while she was considered missing alongside her father!
I'm from Pakistan and this case makes me sick. Our government, our police, our polticians..all have failed us. Zainab, rest in peace angel, May Allah grant you the highest rank in Jannah 💞
@@Flyingkitty1234 what u on about?
@@Flyingkitty1234you're disgusting of the human being to harass a religion when we are talking about such an important issue try to understand this happens in every country and in India too doesn't make it right.
This is wrong information. Quran, the book and the ONLY book Muslims are supposed to follow does NOT talk about 72 v!rgins whatsoever. This information was written in a Hadith written hundreds of years after the death of the Prophet. We have no proof that this is real since Allah SWT never said this. FAKE INFORMATION!
As a Pakistani, I really appreciate Stephanie being respectful about my culture and religion ❤️❤️🇵🇰
Yes, people with little to no knowledge about Islam tend to do.
@@Leo_Pard_A4 bruh even people preaching about Islam do the worst sh1t ever, this Muslim guy literally touched me inappropriately despite fasting during Ramadan or whatever
obviously not all Muslim people are bad, my friend is Muslim and not close to the dirty perverted Muslim guy but also my friend who was Muslim wasnt that religious whereas the guy was. People CAN BE EVIL and still support religion and go on rants about it. Supporting a religion has nothing to do with morals or ethics, good people dont do bad things despite not believing in religion
@@shraddha8467 Can anyone give counterarguments, or is that a correct statement?
@@shraddha8467shraddha kindly be respectful ❤
@@shraddha8467 what does the religion have to do w this?
I love how she presented this story… I love how her tone is respectful when she talks about Islam… as a Muslim and a Pakistani girl, this was the most emotionally investing podcast covering zainab’s case… I was in college at the time of the incident and I cried a lot whoever I saw anything about this case on the news… and today, years later, I cried just as much… the pain never goes away… but let me tell you a heart breaking truth Stephanie… nothing has changed here in Pakistan… people might me more aware now, people might have changed but the police is the same… I guess that the only thing common all around the world… the police just doesn’t wanna do anything 💔
I was in ig 2nd grade or 3rd grade, and I didn't understood anything. My parents watched the news and immediately told me to never go near any adult who isn't them. I remembered Zainab's face tho and I got to know the full story in ig 6th or 7th grade, and it was so heartbreaking. It is so sad about what happens in Pakistan, I know it is worse in other places but still breaks my heart to see adults thinking so dirty about kids
Zainab sounds like such a sweet little girl it’s absolutely appalling that anyone could hurt a child
fr, i can't imagine such a sweet soul losing their life just like that :(( imagine the future she would have
The fact that zainab's sister was literally my class fellow in college....this case was not only gut wrenching for the city but for the whole country...this hits so close to home😢
Stephanie. This is a case from my country! This kept us up at night for months to follow. We still hurt every time we see her face! It's a cruel world we live in - one where sweet angels like her are not safe! Thank you for covering this! Love from Pakistan
I want to thank you for all the hard work you do to deep dive in these stories to give the voiceless a voice and i dont know how many times ive cried listening but the phrase "historically criminals don't care about the law" made me chuckle.
Mrs mango youre a really brave soul for covering cases like these💗💗
ohhhh omg i forgot she’s Mrs. Mango now 😭😭😭😭
@@leesungcoreive been waiting for the moment to use it😭😭
@@00yueuis it because she’s married?
@@rizzshimurayes!! She got married like a week ago im so happy for her💕
@@00yueuactually last month
I remember this case, my mum was so upset and prayed for the family. I was only 8 and not allowed to go unattended outside the house. This was a very tragic case.
When Zainab had gone missing. My family prayed for her to be found. I think about a week she was found murdered in the trash. When her body was found, the entire nation was terrified.
"Sometimes privilege is disguised as moral superiority" Stephanie is such a good human T___T
🤮🤮🤮
She is!!
That is a platitude. What is moral superiority? How is saying what she said not moralising. People need to think rationally. Always apply the statement to itself. And if you want to claim, oh but it's sometimes only, then I can respond, if it's sometimes, then by definition it's not always and so it need not be now.
@@peterc4082what???
@peterc4082 Dude wtf??? 😂😂😂
Thank you sooooo much Soo for covering this. There is a Pakistani drama based on this story, it's called 'meri guriya' and it did receive backlash due to the 'culture' and breech of 'norms', 'modesty', and 'taboo'. Your video will hit the audience who culturally and ethnically relate; living in the west, causing them to be aware of these topics too. I'm so glad you did it I really am. ❤
I’ve watched so many of Stephanie’s videos but this one never fails to make me cry. It’s so heartbreaking and the way it is told, from understanding the cultural and religious background to hurting for the family just breaks my heart
I can feel Stephanie's emotion while sharing the story.. so heartbreaking... I can't imagine how it feels like to lost a child you care the most.
She was such an angel. My heart goes out to her parents. When i saw that CCTV footage of Zainab holding the hand of a strange man and trustingly skipping along beside him with no idea of the dangers which were about to befall her, my body went cold. Please please please, all parents … teach your children not to talk to strangers …and certainly not to take their hand and go wherever they may lead.
I remember watching headlines throughout the timeline of this case... i also remember not being... this much affected (i feel awful for this) maybe cuz i was not as mature... but today... your video made me cry multiple times... your words... your careful consideration of all the factors involved...you made me realize the full horro of this case. You have done a tremendous job at covering the story of Zainab.
I am a pakistani girl and I was around 14 15 when this happened and I remember everyone was talking about this case here in pakistan but because of the awkwardness surrounding such topics in conservative societies like ours, I only knew that a child named zainab was kidnapped and raped and then the culprit was eventually caught and hanged. I never knew these details I got to know from you and the way I was crying throughout this entire video. My heart just shattered into pieces. All I can say is may Allah make it easy for her family and bless them with the best in this world and the hereafter💔 May this angel named zainab rests in heaven(انشاء الله) and may my country never experience anything like this again💔💔 thank you stephanie for presenting zainab's case in such detail and also for being such respectful towards Islam and Muslims. You are among a very very few non muslims I have come across on internet who have actually done their research about Islam and Muslims and then formed an impression rather than just pointlessly portraying muslims as terrorists and extremists. You have gained my respect❤
i was 8 , i live in uae it's a safe country but i got scare and refused to go out of the house without my parents
The only true Pakistani I found in comments❤
I remember first hearing about this on the news. What they did was horrible.
I started balling my goddamn eyes out when she explained how the father had lost his little girl, and now he can’t enjoy his birthday without feeling the guilt that she’s not there..🙁
Same as that exact time
Honestly at 26:30 I’m so happy my cousin learnt to defend herself when random men just touched her shoulder , she got out her shoe and SCREAMED “how dare you touch me , who do you think you are” also at one of the posters at 49:36 it states one of the cities which I am genuinely very aware about
