Violence against girls and women threatens peace for all and the general well-being, but our society must be steadfast and determined to eliminate all forms of discrimination and violence against girls and women.
To the members of the family and friends of the deceased girl I expressed my sincere condolences! Her soul will rest in peace only when justice will be served. We owe justice to every girl and woman who suffered the violence at the hands of those who are taking their lives and getting away with impunity.
