Ever since Dua Mangi was kidnapped, people have been commenting all sorts of things about her, from sending prayers to character assassination and what not. And as Dua Mangi returned safely to her parents, the judgements have really gotten out of hand.
People are curious to find out every little detail from when Dua Mangi was abducted and are demanding that the family reveals all details as they have the ‘right’ to know. Many have been commenting absolute nonsense calling it all a big drama. The vile comments were picked up by BBC and an article was published at BBC World:
Dua Mangi: Slut-shamed in Pakistan for being abducted https://t.co/YHvFEKEpR9

The replies had people baffled:
Nuclear power stuck in the 14th Century.

The girls were horrified:
As a Pakistani, I'm horrified myself. Our society is literally trash, no wonder the country hasn't progressed at all. It's not even remotely safe for women.

Some were pointing out why the news made it to international headlines:
Main reason it made to the headlines was because everyone unwisely chose to disproportionately highlight a few odd uneducated comments. Even the article only mentions comments condemning the mindset that supposedly represents all the Pakistanis. https://t.co/Viw9MQhnLN

People agreed that the Pakistanis were being rightfully called out:
We always make it to international headlines for being exactly who we are, so fucking encouraging, isn't it!!!

Some suggested how there’s a dire need of more Aurat marches:
Can’t begin to imagine what this family is going through having to see such headlines in such a difficult time.
The things they’ve said is deplorable and shows how much mvmts such as
Auarat March is needed to create awareness and bring change.Time for institutions to step up! https://t.co/MSAXUrTb6l
