Tragic Loss of a Teenage Girl in Pakistan

Fourteen-year-old Hira Anwar, a New York resident, was tragically killed in Pakistan by her father and uncle.

The horrifying act, labeled an 'honor killing,' stemmed from Hira's online presence deemed immodest by her parents.

Hira's contrasting lives—a typical American teenager versus adhering to strict cultural expectations—ended in unthinkable violence.

This heartbreaking incident highlights the persistent issue of violence against women in Pakistan and its diaspora.
