Kiran Javed was just 15, full of life, dreams, and hope, when her world was torn apart. A Muslim family abducted her from her home and later forced her to convert to Islam. Soon after, she was married off to a 46-year-old Muslim man, Noor Muhammad, who was the brother of the lady living next door, a stranger old enough to be her father.

For Kiran’s parents, Javed Masih and his wife, it was a nightmare no parent should ever face. Their daughter was gone, and no one was willing to listen. When they went to the police for help, their cries fell on deaf ears. The officers refused to register a case, turning away the grieving parents as if their pain didn’t matter, as if their faith made them invisible.

Desperate and broken, Kiran’s parents reached out to our team in Multan. We stood with them and filed a petition under Section 22/B, demanding that the court order the police to register an FIR. Only after the court’s intervention did the police finally open the case.

But even then, the investigation moved painfully slowly. There were delays, excuses, and attempts to silence the matter. Yet, with the constant efforts of our lawyers and pressure from local supporters, the truth began to surface.

When Kiran was finally brought before the judge, she bravely spoke out, telling the court that she had been abducted and forced to marry against her will. She declared that she wanted to return to her parents, her home, and her faith. Her courage that day broke through the walls of silence and fear that had surrounded her.

Kiran’s case is not an isolated story; it’s one of hundreds. Across Pakistan, Christian and Hindu girls are being abducted, forcibly converted to Islam, and married to older Muslim men. These crimes are often hidden behind a veil of “consent” and “religious conversion,” but the truth is painful and clear: these girls are victims of exploitation and coercion.

Forced conversions are a weapon used against the most vulnerable, young girls from poor Christian families who have no power to fight back. Their voices are silenced by fear, their parents threatened, and their faith trampled upon.

Through every rescue and every case we fight, we see the same pattern of injustice. But we also see something more substantial, faith that does not die. Families like Kiran’s refuse to give up. They believe, even through tears, that God will bring justice.

Kiran is now safe with her parents. Her rescue reminds us why we continue this fight, not only to free the victims but to give voice to the many others still living in silence.

Until every girl like Kiran is free, our mission continues.
