Woman Harassment in Pakistan

In Islam, women’s are given heights position. Islam gives them respect and honor. The working Women’s and the female students of Pakistani society faces many problems in society from the dominate class of the society, which is male. The most serious problem which I am going to mention there is the harassment, which these women’s faces from the male members of the society.

Working women’s and female students of Pakistan mostly facing three types of harassments at work place and also at the time of transportation to these places, which are mental harassment, physical harassment and sexual harassment. Male members of Pakistani society attitudes toward female members of society are very bad.

At the places where the male and males works together, usually women’s many problems from males workers, including sexual harassment and whenever the working women’s and female students going to their school, colleges, universities and also to their work places; they face harassment from the males which is one of the hurdle in their education and also in the way of the economic development of the female of the Pakistani society. At the time of working with males and going outside the home, this harassment is in the form of shameless staring and vulgar remarks, which make a painful experience for these females to go alone outside the home.

At the time of travelling in a public transport, drivers and bus contactors took advantage of the situation and harassing women; sometimes by touching, staring or playing loud vulgar songs but the women travelers usually avoided complaining to anyone because they feel too embarrassed to tell anybody.

Some students cannot afford the pick and drop service due to expenses so they travel by the public transport. The drivers and some males try to sit close to females to harass them.
The women harassment in the public transport vehicles, makes these women’s upset and they feel anxiety, insecurity and disturbance and many working women even leave their jobs because of this harassment when this harassment come into knowledge of the male members of these female students and working women’s. This single issue may damage the careers of working women’s and female students.
