Tehrik-e-Niswan Members Attacked in Ghotki, Police Fail to Act

Members of Tehrik-e-Niswan, a cultural advocacy group, survived an armed attack near Ghotki, Sindh, while campaigning for mental health awareness. Founder Sheema Kermani condemned the local police’s inaction, as no FIR has been filed, raising concerns about safety for social activists in Pakistan.

During a press conference at the Karachi Press Club on Saturday, Kermani revealed that armed men attacked the group on Thursday, shooting two members in the hand and leg. “It’s a miracle we survived,” she said. The group was touring rural Sindh to destigmatise mental health through street theatre, a shift from their earlier focus on combating Karo Kari (honour killings) via over 100 plays.

Kermani suggested the assault might be targeted, possibly to silence their activism against social injustices, rather than a random robbery. She demanded a transparent investigation, compensation, and protection from the Sindh government.

Kermani criticised the police for failing to register an FIR, instead questioning the group’s nighttime travel. “This reflects impunity and negligence toward social change advocates,” she stated. The lack of action underscores broader challenges for activists promoting peace and equality through art, as Tehreek-e-Niswan operates within Pakistan’s constitutional framework.

The attack on Tehreek-e-Niswan near Ghotki, coupled with police inaction, exposes the dangers faced by cultural activists in Pakistan. Sheema Kermani’s call for justice and protection resonates as a plea to safeguard mental health and social equality advocates. Swift action is essential to end this cycle of violence.
