The union expressed solidarity with the victim and her family and condemned this reprehensible act in the strongest possible terms.

Stating that violent misconduct against women and minor girls constitutes a serious violation of human dignity and fundamental rights, while also fostering fear, insecurity, and social unrest within the community, the Union appealed to the competent authority to take prompt and decisive legal action against the accused so that justice prevails.

The Union also called upon the society at large to stand firmly united against all forms of gender- based abuse, and to actively promote peace, justice, and a safe environment for all.
