Addressing the WeBelieve Catholic festival near Birmingham, Ribqa Nevash warned that Christian girls in Pakistan are living with the daily threat of being abducted, forced to convert to Islam and then forced to marry their abductors, reports Aid to the Church in Need (ACN). According to ACN, Nevash told the WeBelieve festival that there were cases of forced conversions “every day” in Pakistan. “Our Christian boys and men are not allowed to marry [Muslim girls], but Muslim men are allowed to marry our minor girls,” she said. Shahbaz’s case has become emblematic of wider concerns over religious freedom and the treatment of minority girls in Pakistan. The campaign seeks to raise awareness of the discrimination, persecution and forced conversions experienced by religious minorities in countries including Pakistan.
