Wasim Akram has expressed his disgust and anger towards those who torture and abuse children.
Sharing a video of a little boy, who was abused by his father, the former captain wrote: “In my book, the lowest form of life on this planet are those who hurt and torture children. This video is absolutely heart wrenching to watch.”
“I’m sick to my stomach,” added the cricketer.

In the video, the child can be seen complaining about his father, who abuses him regularly for not gathering enough income in the day.
“My father gives me electric shocks,” revealed the child. “I have 4 siblings.”
Similarly, Wasim’s wife Shaniera Akram also said that abusing a child is the “purest form of evil”.
Last month, Shaniera spearheaded ‘The Polished Man’ movement in Pakistan to raise awareness about child abuse.
Posting photos of some of the most prominent faces in Pakistan, Shaniera wrote: “Some of the toughest men Pakistan has ever produced are showing their softer side and coloring one nail to represent the millions of children who suffer every day at the hand of an adult. Our Pakistani heroes say ‘We WILL NOT tolerate child abuse in our country’.”
Shaniera explained that though the ‘Polished Man’ campaign has been around for years, 2020 has witnessed the highest level of child abuse in Pakistan.
