David Turner – Church in Chains

David Turner was in studio to discuss the plight of young Christian girls and women in Pakistan who are abducted, forcibly converted to Islam and pressured into marrying their captors. The issue has drawn international concern, with human rights groups highlighting cases involving vulnerable young women from minority communities.

The conversation follows the recent escape of one Christian woman from captivity and examines the challenges faced by victims and their families in seeking justice and protection.

We also look at the work being carried out by Church in Chains and its partners in Pakistan. CLAAS provides legal advice and practical support to affected families, while Christians True Spirit operates a care centre offering safe shelter, trauma-informed medical and psychological care, legal assistance and counselling for survivors as they rebuild their lives after abuse and exploitation.
