Actress Maya Ali has spoken out strongly in response to the tragic and brutal killing of Sana Yousaf, whose life was taken in yet another so-called “honor” crime. Taking to social media, Maya expressed deep sorrow for the victim and extended heartfelt condolences to her family.
In an emotionally charged statement, she wrote that she’s “tired and furious at this never-ending cycle of women being murde*ed in the name of so-called honor.” Maya added that no culture or tradition can justify taking a woman’s life and urged authorities to ensure justice is served, not just for Sana, but for every victim silenced under this horrific pretext.
Her statement quickly resonated across social platforms, with thousands echoing her sentiments. Many called for stricter laws, faster trials, and societal education to dismantle the deep-rooted misogyny that fuels such crimes.
This isn’t the first time Maya has used her platform to advocate for justice. Her voice adds to the growing chorus demanding that Pakistan must move beyond silence and symbolism towards accountability and reform.
