Ever since Pakistani celebrity couple Muneeb Butt and Aiman Khan tied the knot, they have been serving couple goals. From their social media posts, to the comments on each others’ posts and the pictures they post, they sure know just how to keep their fans and followers entertained and engaged. Both of them are avid users of social media and in the recent past have been sharing pictures with their baby girl Amal. Fans look forward to their annual Eid picture and they melt our hearts with their posts.
Now, their baby girl, Amal Muneeb who is already an Instagram star has been making rounds on social media. From her colored eyes, to her matching outfits with mommy dearest to her recent road trip up north with Aiman and her aunt and uncles, this little girl sure knows how to steal all the attention.
But now, her father, Muneeb Butt has expressed concern via social media for his daughter; after the Lahore motorway gang rape which has all the country talking. The horrific incident in which a woman was dragged from her car and raped in front of her children was spine chilling to say the least. Not only does this horrendous incident highlight how unsafe Pakistan is for women, but it has also highlighted the fact that victim-blaming is so ingrained in our society.
Taking to Instagram, the actor shared, “Har roz uth kar apni beti ko dekhta hun. muhabbat se itmenaan se, behad pyaar se. (Everyday I wake up to look at my daughter with immense love and patience),” he wrote. This was followed by “Lekin ab us men behad khof bhi shaamil hogaya hai.(But now immense fear has also lurked its way in) Sochta hun kya ye khof hamesha rahega? (I wonder if this fear will always stay with me?)” he went on to add. The celebrity shared the post with the trending hashtag #hangtherapists.
Following the motorway gang rape, a number of protests were held across the country to call for an end to this brutality that women face on a daily basis in the country. Protests also broke out after the Lahore police chief investigating the gang rape blamed the victim for travelling late at night without a male companion. So far, Pakistan police have arrested 15 people in connection with the incident, according to a report in AFP.

The woman was attacked at the end of last week when her car broke down on a motorway as she headed to Gujranwala with her children. As her fuel finished, she was left stranded and made several attempts to call for rescue. As she waited, a group of men smashed her window, dragged her out of the car and raped her in front of her children in a nearby field, the Guardian reported.
The men then fled the scene after robbing her of her jewellery and whatever cash she was carrying. Till now, not a single person who has been arrested was part of the group who conducted the attack.
