Gang Rape
Pakistan is completely victim of gang rapes which is getting common in Punjab mostly. There is an average number of 5000 rape cases registered every year. However, rape is a criminal offence in Pakistan where 75 percent of women are in custody due to physically or sexually abusement.
In 2019, the government of Pakistan established more than a thousand special courts across the country. These special courts would focus only on addressing the issues concerned to violence against women within country. Anyhow, Pakistan is a country where sexual violence towards women is too common.
Recently, on 9th September, a woman was raped and killed on Motorway. Though this case got a lot of coverage in the media but still such acts are getting more common. On the other hand, Akikat Soomro, who was a 13 years old school girl, was kidnapped and gang-raped for four days. Ultimately, Pakistan being an Islamic Country needs to have progressive and productive policies for making the children and the women safe.
