Join our campaign to end 'honour' killings in Pakistan

To Prime Minister of Pakistan Nawaz Sharif, Maryam Nawaz Sharif, President of Pakistan Mamnoon Hussain and all Pakistani Parliamentarians:

We urge you to immediately pass the Anti-Honor Killings Laws (Criminal Laws Amendment) Bill 2014 in the Parliament or a similar bill that closes the forgiveness loophole for honour killings, and to make sure all perpetrators of honour killings are brought to justice. We also urge the government to launch a major education campaign to spread awareness about the consequences of committing such brutal crimes against women including by setting up infrastructure that enables women to seek protection.

Pakistan: End the right to kill women
Sometimes it takes an act of unfathomable brutality to spark a revolution.

For marrying the man she loved, Saba was shot in the head and dumped in the river by her father. But her father walked free, protected by Pakistani law. EVERY 90 MINUTES, A WOMAN IS KILLED IN THESE "HONOUR KILLINGS"!

It's sickening, but our world is getting wiser, we can stop this now, and it can begin with Saba. Because amazingly, she survived!! And her documentary story was just nominated for an Oscar! And even more, the amazing filmmaker behind it has persuaded the Prime Minister to promise to change the law!

This could be an incredible story of triumph and change, but it's not won yet. We have 4 days before the Oscars on Sunday - let's get 1 million of us around the world to stand with Saba. Delivered to the media and the government, our call will build pressure and help the heroes of this story win a revolution in Pakistani law that can send a message to the world. Sign and share to build our numbers, before we lose this moment.
