This week, Pakistan counted for the first time. Five years of police records: 237,216 crimes against women and girls. And even they admit, that is only what reached a police station.

Around the world, nearly one woman in three has faced physical or sexual violence. But here is hope: our Supreme Court has ordered gender-sensitive investigations, and Pakistan's first national strategy to end violence against children is launching.

Counting is the first step. Believing survivors is the next. Ending this is on all of us. Together.
