Five Years On: What Noor Mukadam’s Case Revealed About Pakistan? | Rights Watch

Five years after the murder of Noor Mukadam and ten years after the killing of Qandeel Baloch, Pakistan witnessed extraordinary public outrage and landmark legal developments. But did that change anything? In this candid conversation, human rights and gender expert Fauzia Yazdani examines what these two cases revealed about Pakistan’s attitudes toward women, violence and power. She speaks openly about victim blaming, the search for the “perfect victim,” and why misogyny often becomes more visible during high-profile trials. The discussion also asks whether Pakistani entertainment is reinforcing harmful ideas by romanticising controlling, obsessive and possessive male characters, and what that means for younger audiences.
