This Easter, she is forced to hide rather than be able to join in celebrations. She had been abducted, forcibly married to a much older Muslim man, and must now wait in hiding after escaping. Forced \u201cconversion\u201d through marriage affects an estimated 1,000 girls from religious minorities in Pakistan every year.<\/p><p>Maira\u00a0has\u00a0experienced\u00a0this\u00a0dangerous reality\u00a0herself.\u00a0She escaped her captor \u2013 but not before he\u00a0brutalized, blackmailed,\u00a0married,\u00a0and forcibly \u201cconverted\u201d her from her Christian faith.\u00a0When she\u00a0sought\u00a0justice, the\u00a0Lahore High Court initially ordered that she be returned to her abductor.\u00a0Working with local lawyer Sumera Shafiq, ADF International is seeking to annul her marriage certificate. She\u00a0has\u00a0been in hiding\u00a0with her family\u00a0for several months,\u00a0hoping for positive\u00a0news regarding her appeal\u00a0any day now.<\/p><p>\u201cNobody should be persecuted because of their faith.\u00a0\u00a0We have observed increased violence against Christian minorities around feasts such as Christmas and Easter. Women are particularly vulnerable. At a time of international focus on violence against women, it\u2019s critical to recognize that Christian women face rights abuses because of their faith, including extreme violence, threats, enslavement, kidnappings, and forced marriage. It\u2019s imperative that everything is done to protect the rights of women and girls by ending faith-based persecution,\u201d said Tehmina Arora, Director of Advocacy, Asia, for ADF International.<\/p><p><b>The international community must protect girls like\u00a0Maira<\/b><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p>Pakistan is recognized as one of the most dangerous places for a woman to be a Christian. The practice\u00a0of forced \u201cconversions\u201d disproportionately affects religious minorities and\u00a0is usually carried out through kidnapping, sexual violence, and blackmail. Local authorities are often complicit in such cases. Sadly, courts have often failed to uphold the Child Marriage Restraint Act, which sets the legal age of marriage for girls at 16 years.<\/p><p>\u201cThe international community must take action to prevent such\u00a0severe\u00a0violations of fundamental rights in Pakistan.\u00a0Maira\u2019s\u00a0case is a much too frequent example of what religious minorities face in the country. This\u00a0can no longer go unnoticed.\u00a0Everyone has\u00a0the right to freely choose and live out their faith without fear of violence. All states must ensure that their laws and policies are in line with their commitments to protect religious freedom under international law,\u201d said Paul Coleman, Executive Director of ADF international.<\/p><p>*Name changed for security\u00a0reasons<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a1c4475
