RIP Qandeel Baloch, Pakistani Murdered in Honor Killing


I've been following the news about Qandeel Baloch, a Pakistani woman who was murdered by her brother in an honor killing.

She was a social media star, a Kim Kardashian type, a free spirit who did her thing, made a living from it, made enough in fact to support her family, including the brother who strangled her.

I am sorry, Qandeel Baloch. Hopefully your death will bring about changes in Pakistan and other places in the world that continue to maltreat their women.
