The Kasur child abuse scandal includes a series of over 700 cases that took place in the Hussain Khanwala Village, Kasur, Pakistan. The occurrence of these incidents revolve around the time period of 2006 to 2014, stemming the political scandal later in 2015.
According to various news outlets, hundreds of sexually provoking video clips were found where children were forced to perform sexual acts. The news outlets suggested that around 300 children were involved in these forced acts, with majority of them being male victims. A series of organized crimes, such as child pornography and extortion were said to take place under this child abuse case.
Thus far, no political leader has emerged to take notice of these crimes. A case that remains unsolved from 2015, one witness of the Kasur child abuse case was attacked by accused because he came forward.

@KoblerinPAK I would like u to meet the kasur child abuse victims and hear their story.Since 2015 when their videos were released they are struggling to get justice as well.Maybe we can create some educational opportunity and give them medical treatment.They are mostly teenagers

This case requires stern attention – the Zainab rape case sparked a nationwide protest on how these cases are going unnoticed till date.
Hope the authorities shed their focus on the Kasur child abuse cases.
