The petition calls upon the Supreme Court of Pakistan, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), and the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) to review the implications of this ruling and to ensure that the rights of Christian and minority women are safeguarded under both domestic and international law.

WHRI-ORG and NCPP reaffirm their unwavering commitment to defending the dignity, freedom, and equality of all religious minorities in Pakistan and to pursuing justice through lawful and peaceful means.
