Actor Zara Noor Abbas has voiced concern over the safety of children and questioned the effectiveness of the justice system following a recent incident in Karachi.
In an Instagram story, she expressed anguish over what she described as the lack of meaningful consequences for serious crimes, asking whether the judicial system was doing enough to protect children from predators.
“These could be the worst times we are living in,” she wrote, referring to the recent incident and the broader frequency of such crimes.
The actor questioned why repeated cases of violence had failed to result in stronger legal action that could deter future offenders.
“There is no example being made out of something done so often and so easily, and it does look easy because it’s happening all the time,” she wrote.
Zara also challenged the notion that such incidents should be viewed solely through the lens of gender, questioning why society continues to witness violence without seeing decisive action from the legal system.
Expressing the fear faced by parents, Zara questioned what measures could be taken to protect children when the justice system appeared ineffective.
“But what do we do now? How do we save our children? An eye for an eye? Should we take the law into our hands?” she asked.
