#Pakistan: Diplomat's daughter beheaded for rejecting a marriage proposal.

Zahir Jaffer, the son of one of Pakistan's wealthiest families, raped, and decapitated Noor Muqaddam, a 27-year-old woman.

On July 20, last year, he was brutally murdered at his house. Her attempts to flee were captured on video, but she was unsuccessful.

The murder sparked outrage across the country, prompting calls for more to be done to safeguard women's safety.

For months, the assassination of Noor Muqaddam by a guy she knew from the same circle of high society friends had dominated headlines.

It prompted calls for a reform of Pakistan's criminal justice system, which has a low conviction rate for crimes against women.

Every year, hundreds of women are slain in the country, and thousands more are abused. Many incidents go unnoticed.
