Minisode 9: Balancing the Scales

Jihan Season 1 Episode 21

A deeply troubling case from Raja Ram, Multan, that sheds light on the hidden injustices and unchecked power of tribal systems. This case reveals how decisions made in the name of “justice” can perpetuate cycles of violence, leaving victims with no voice and communities with little recourse for true accountability. 

Despite its severity, such cases rarely come to light, highlighting the need for greater awareness and systemic reform.
