Justice for Asma Yaqoob

In April of 2018, a young Pakistani Christian woman by the name of Asma Yaqoob was approached by a Muslim man by the name of Rizwan Gujjar.  Rizwan asked Asma to convert to Islam and marry him, she refused to do so.  A few days later, Rizwan came o the gate of her workplace where Asma worked as a beautician.  At the gate, he claimed to be her brother.  When Asma came to greet the man that she thought she was her brother, Rizwan launched a viscous attack, dousing Asma with acid and setting her on fire.  Over 90% of her body was burned.  Sadly, Asma died of her wounds a few days later.  Attacks like this are frequently carried out on women throughout the Middle East, especially those of a minority faith.  For far too long, the international community has turned a blind eye to these horrible crimes.  

Our organization at Express Missions International seeks to help shelter women like Asma who are being stalked and victimized throughout the nation of Pakistan.  Through charitable donations, we can help build safehouses in the country to provide desperately needed protection to so many endangered women.  Please visit our website at http://expressmissions.com/ and send a donation with the notation that you'd like it to go to the A&R Relief project.  We will ensure that your donation goes to help endangered Pakistani women.  With a collective effort, we can help many women avoid suffering the same fate as Asma Yaqoob.
