Urooj Zia, sexually molested by her father, is the founder of Laalteyn, an online platform for sexually abused children. We speak with activists and mental health professionals who explore the links between child protection and good governance.

This year will mark the two-year anniversary of the deadly blaze in Baldia Town which killed over 200 factory workers.
