Islamabad [Pakistan] May 13 (ANI): The Sustainable Social Development Organization (SSDO), of Pakistan, reported a rise in domestic violence cases against women due to COVID-19 restrictions. Government should implement laws to protect Pakistani women and children, SSDO said.
Writing in The Nation, Sania Arif revealed the grim reality of Pakistani women who are susceptible to physical abuse within the confined space of their homes. She writes the woes of these helpless women that increased during the nationwide lockdown in Pakistan.
Violence against women has always been a serious issue, but due to honour and culture of our society, it is seldom talked about because it hurts the sentiments of our people. The issue has seen a new spike in recent times due to COVID-19 restrictions, she says.
