Citing reports from human rights organization Ain o Salish Kendra (ASK), the HRCBM said that 342 rape cases were officially registered in less than three months during the first quarter of 2025, of which 87 percent of the victims were girls under the age of 18.

Of these, 40 victims were children under the age of six. At the same time, cases of gang rape against minors have also increased rapidly. According to the human rights organization, the real number is in thousands, which does not come to light due to silence and fear.
