When you’re a woman in Pakistan you grow up knowing JUST safely “existing” is a privilege. And that any one at any time can take that privilege from you without EVER being held accountable.#JusticeForNoor

Since many people on social media were sharing unverified information about Mukadam's death, actor Osman Khalid Butt tweeted, "I cannot believe this bears saying, but please stop sharing unverified, unsubstantiated details about the murder: the causes, the aftermath," he tweeted on Friday, adding "especially if they're by anonymous sources".
