In this episode, we confront Pakistan’s hidden epidemic of child sexual abuse — from Kasur’s dark legacy to everyday silences in homes, madrassas, and schools. Drawing on survivor stories, data, and global parallels, we explore how power, patriarchy, and “izzat” protect predators while children are left unprotected. This is not an easy conversation — but it’s one we can no longer afford to avoid.
