Even if there are no direct means of assessing Haram those who want will find a way and then use such victims to satisfy their desires. Therefore, use the blessing of Islam to teach people how to develop a strong connection with Allah. Teach them Tawheed and Aqeedah so they realize Allaah is always watching them. Yousuf عليه السلام had the perfect opportunity. He was alone, with a beautiful woman, and she was willing. In fact, more than willing, she was forcing him. How did be stop? He was sincere with Allaah. Fullstop.
6. PUNISH THE CRIMINALS
We must realize that crime will never end no matter what we do. But it can be reduced if we punish the criminals of rape with the death penalty. Allah made these laws for our betterment and we cannot succeed until we completely accept them. Publicly punish them so they become a warning for the next 1000 people who were just thinking of it. Otherwise, we will just get emotional now and have a few rallies, maybe the criminal will get a few years in prison, and then he’s out on the streets again. See what happens in societies where rapists are left to roam free after prison. Most of them do it again. To punish them and don’t make ANY exception. Just like the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said that if Fatima رضي الله عنها were to steal I would cut her hands as well. This is true justice.
7. DEVELOP INSTITUTIONS FOR SUPPORT OF VICTIMS.
After everything, we still have to deal with the victims. It is a very tough life for those who survive this. They become outcasts, especially poor women. She is thrown away like used tissue paper and this is disgusting, to say the least. Encourage men to marry such women. Have rehabilitation centers that provide emotional support.
Women who are married should encourage their husbands to marry such women if no one unmarried accepts them. They are OUR responsibility. She shouldn’t be deserted in any case.
These are just some things that I believe would bring about a great change if we collectively work towards them. May Allah protect everyone from such a trial and if they are put in it then may He give them the patience to cope with it. Ameen.

I had a proposal that let National Assembly pass a Zainab Alert bill with an amendment to the constitution, I still hope that our premier publicly punishes those involved. There should be plenty of evidence:
1. Death sentence for Rape / Rape and Murder;
2. Death sentence to making naked videos and posting on social media;
3. Death sentence to Kidnappers;
4. Publicly hang to Rape or Rape & murderers of Child & Teenagers.
Zia ul Haq did it and there was no kidnapping case for years. As long as brutes such as this walk the lands unchained, we’re all failing. Harshest of examples need to be made out of these rapists so no one would ever dare again. And in the meantime, let’s support the organizations working towards this cause in any and every way we can, in Zainab’s memory.
تم بھی میرے قتل میں ہو برابر کے شریک
تم بھی تو خاموش تھے نا جب مجھے مارا گیا
