A 12-year old Tehmina Qasim from Rahim Yar Khan is one such victim of violence. Presently admitted to the Surgical Ward III of Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) with a broken backbone, she was thrashed by her masters due to which, she fell off second floor of the house. Tehmina, a skinny girl, who has been working for Najeebul Islam and his wife Rakhshinda at Bahria Town phase IV, for the last eight months. She has been counseled bed rest for six months. Doctors seem uncertain whether she would be able to walk again. "However, the treatment is on," they added. |
