Women in Pakistan going through a torrid period as they face harassment everywhere – from home to educational institutions and workplaces. Spending a few minutes at any bus stop is enough to gauge what kind of insulting treatment they experience in everyday life.

It is not the first or unique incident as the nation is still in shock after the Lahore motorway gang-rape case where a woman was sexually assaulted in front of her children. 

This horrendous act in September was followed by the insulting remarks repeatedly passed Lahore CCPO Umer Sheikh who blamed the victim for the incident, saying she shouldn’t travelled without a male family member in night.

Sheikh, who is tasked with protecting the citizens, had also stated that the woman should know that it was Pakistan, not France, where she had lived for years.
