March 13, 2025 – Another name lost in the shadows of coercion, another identity stripped away. A minor Hindu girl from Kotri, Sindh, Lachmi Bheel, has been converted to Islam under the name of Dua Fatima. In a carefully staged media appearance, she declared that she had embraced Islam of her own free will. But behind this public display lies a deeply disturbing reality—one of intimidation, threats, and unbearable trauma.
Forced conversions of Hindu girls in Sindh have become an all-too-common atrocity. The pattern is chillingly similar: young, vulnerable girls are abducted, subjected to psychological and physical abuse, and coerced into giving statements that paint a picture of willing acceptance. Meanwhile, their grieving families are silenced—either through threats or sheer helplessness in the face of a system that refuses to acknowledge their pain.
Reports from human rights organizations and local activists reveal the horrifying ordeals these girls endure. Many are forcibly married to their abductors, subjected to rape and torture, and isolated from their loved ones. The legal system often turns a blind eye, and attempts by families to reclaim their daughters are met with hostility or outright dismissal.
The case of Lachmi Bhel is not unique. It is yet another reminder of the systemic persecution faced by religious minorities in Pakistan. The world cannot afford to remain silent. International human rights organizations, global leaders, and humanitarian advocates must step forward and demand justice. Diplomatic pressure, stricter legal enforcement, and protective measures for minority communities are imperative to stop this ongoing injustice.
It is time for the world to acknowledge the suffering of Sindh’s Hindu daughters. These voices must not be drowned out by propaganda and staged statements. We must stand in solidarity and demand an end to this cruel practice before another innocent girl is lost to the darkness.
🙏 Let us raise our voices and call for justice! 🙏
