Pakistan Rape Dilemma
Sexual violence remains a menace in Punjab as many cases go unreported due to cultural norms, fear of dishonor, and victim-blaming, which makes it difficult to gauge the true scale of the problem.
As Pakistan has stern laws against sexual violence, the justice system often fails to provide timely or adequate responses, with survivors facing barriers like long legal proceedings and corruption. Activists and civil society groups are pushing for better support systems for survivors and stronger legal protections.
