Violence against women increasing in Pakistan: report | The number violence and discrimination cases are continuously growing in Pakistan, a new
report has revealed. Pakistani women, whether they are based in rural or urban
areas, face multiple forms of violence including sexual violence, domestic abuse,
burning and disfiguring through acids beating and threatening, honour-killings,
custodial abuse and torture, dowry-related violence, rape and female genital mutilation,
a report called "Sorrows of woman" prepared by the Pakistan Human Development
Foundation said. The study has revealed that the women in Pakistan, generally,
and South Punjab, particularly, experience discrimination since their childhood,
The Nation reports. This fact-sheet contains data on different forms of violence
that women of South Punjab suffered from in the year 2007 and 2008. The figures
obtained are mind-boggling, as the number of cases contained in this fact-sheet
is more than double that published by other organisations. The report concluded
that women couldn't raise their voices against discriminations because in most
cases their own guardians were the violators.
