In Pakistan, more than 2 million children frequently attend madrasas – Koranic schools that offer free religious education to the most disadvantaged. But behind the walls of these revered institutions lies a chilling reality: thousands of children are subjected to sexual violence in deafening silence. Our correspondents bring us a special 31-minute investigation. Warning: viewers may find this report disturbing.

So many muslim politicians in india support madrasa education ,but send their own children to uk or america for higher studies.

Disgusting! Don’t trust anyone with your children! Trust your kids above all.

As a Pakistani I can confirm it's 100 percent true ..nobody is safe

I know a Pakistani, who is now an atheist.He was also assaulted, when he was young. Now at the age of 30 something, he still has those horrific memories haunt him.

Al Jazeera, TRT, B B C, not reporting these kinds of inhuman treatment, about truths. Actually we give u Great support.❤❤❤ Love and respect from India.

It’s a Taboo in societies like Pakistan kids are not only sexually abused by teachers, colleagues and mostly by their elderly close relatives like uncles and cousins. It is a vicious circle.

Im ex-muslim from Pakistan and the information are 10000% correct.....

As a Pakistani, I can say this is the harsh reality of our society.
Madrasas, where poor children study, often hide such abuse. Many victims later become abusers themselves, and the cycle continues unchecked.

This thing's also happening in our country Bangladesh Madrasas

They need to report on the mass dissapearences and forced conversions of Ahmadis, Ismailis, Sufis, Hindus, and Christians

If Indian media showed this there would be a huge cry for minorities being labelled as offenders. Now no pakistani celebrity or cricketer spoke about this . There are so many crimes under the carpet of religion.
