Mahjabeen was enforcedly disappeared at approximately 3:00 AM on 29 May 2025 from the Civil Hospital Hostel in Quetta in a joint operation by police, CTD officers and Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs). She remains missing, has not been presented before a court, and has been denied access to legal representation, family contact, and medical care—a direct violation of Pakistan’s Constitution, its obligations under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). Mahjabeen is a polio survivor, and her health condition raises immediate concerns about her safety, well-being, and access to medication. Her enforced disappearance comes just five days after her brother, Younus Baloch, was taken by the military from their home in Besima, Washuk—indicating a pattern of collective punishment against the family. Despite enduring years of state surveillance, forced displacement, and intimidation in her hometown, Mahjabeen pursued higher education in Quetta as a means of self-empowerment. Her disappearance is not only a grave human rights violation, but also an attack on the rights of women with disabilities, on the right to education, and on the basic dignity of Baloch women. The targeting of Baloch women signals a dangerous escalation in Pakistan’s systematic campaign of enforced disappearances, previously concentrated on male students and activists. This gendered extension of repression underscores the urgent need for international attention. We call for urgent international action: UN Special Procedures, including the Special Rapporteurs on Enforced Disappearances, Violence Against Women and Girls, and the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, must intervene and initiate an urgent appeal on her case. International human rights and women’s rights organizations must recognize the gendered nature of state violence in Balochistan and amplify the demands for justice and accountability. The global community, particularly states and institutions that support Pakistan militarily and diplomatically, must not turn a blind eye to these violations and must press for transparency, justice, and protection for vulnerable populations. Baloch women are not invisible. Their lives, voices, and rights matter. The world must not remain silent in the face of escalating gendered violence in Balochistan. #savebalochwomen #stopthegenocide #stopbalochgenocide
