Karachi – Pakistan (HRNW)- A domestic worker named Yasmin, who works in multiple homes in the Buffer Zone area to earn her livelihood, has come forward with a harrowing account of a violent, unprovoked assault she suffered.
Yasmin was working on the first floor of House No. 530 when Nauman, a resident of Sector 15-B, allegedly attacked her without any prior acquaintance or personal dispute. His wife is identified as Shamsa. According to Yasmin, she had no social, personal, or professional relationship with the accused, making the attack both unexpected and entirely unjustified.
A video recording of the incident reportedly shows Nauman forcibly pushing Yasmin down the stairs, resulting in life-threatening injuries. Yasmin sustained severe trauma to her spine, neck, and the back of her head, putting her life at risk and causing significant physical and psychological distress.
In a public statement, Yasmin appealed to law enforcement agencies, authorities, media, and civil society to take immediate action against the perpetrators, ensure her protection, and provide full legal justice. She emphasized that attacks like these on vulnerable workers are not just crimes against individuals but a societal warning that demands urgent attention.
Yasmin urged that if justice is denied, silence will embolden further atrocities, calling on the public and authorities to stand with her and ensure the culprits face the full force of the law.
