School security guard rapes 6-year-old Christian girl

A 6-year-old Christian girl in Lahore, Pakistan, was raped by her school security guard.

The International Christian Organization ICC has released a report on the rape of a 6-year-old Christian girl in Lahore, Pakistan. According to the reports, the 6-year-old girl was raped in early November by her school security guard, Hussain, who was a Muslim.

According to the Christian organization, the girl's family admitted that their daughter goes to a private school and that the school guard, Hussein, who is a Muslim, raped her simply because she was a Christian. Her family stated: "When our daughter came home, there were blood stains on her clothes and bruises on her body. We realized that the school guard put his hand over our daughter's mouth and raped her because she didn't scream." The Christian family, while referring to the school guard's sexual abuse of their daughter, identified him as the rapist. 

After visiting the school and talking to the principal, the family of this 6-year-old girl was initially met with denial by the principal, who stated that their daughter was injured after falling in the school yard. However, after much discussion and argument, the principal admitted that unfortunately this happened but could not take any specific action.

The girl, whose identity has not been revealed, was taken to the hospital for physical and psychological treatment, and her family has filed a complaint against the school guard. Police have arrested Hussein and are currently investigating the case.

This shocking incident is not the first time it has happened in Pakistan and it will not be the last. Pakistani Muslim men have repeatedly sexually abused young Christian girls and children for being Christians, or kidnapped them and forced them to convert to Islam. A member of the International Criminal Court also reacted to this tragic incident, saying: “This incident is regrettable. Schools should be a safe place for education and upbringing. Unfortunately, this case shows that Christians are still considered vulnerable targets by the majority of Pakistani society and may not seek justice due to threats.
