Background

Last year, in July, it was revealed that Rizwana, a young girl working at the house of a civil judge in Islamabad, was subjected to assault by her employers. The torture continued and when her condition worsened, the civil judge’s wife handed her over to her mother.

Rizwana had torture marks all over her body. A wound on her head had rotted due to lack of treatment, becoming infected by worms.
