2. Who is women??
• The Prophet says:
Women are, indeed, men's partners.
[Abu Dawud]
• A woman can be a sister ,mother ,daughter or
in the form of a wife .And we all know that
these relations are so divine.

4. In spite of these saying women’s are
treated badly in Pakistani society
Some of the women issues in Pakistan are listed
below:
• Honor killings
• Domestic violence
• Dowry abuse
• Sexual harassment
• Acid throwing
• Trafficking
• Marriage at young age

5. Honor killing’s
A form of gender-based
violence, an honor killing
is the homicide of a
member of a family or
social group by other
members, due to the
belief the victim has
brought dishonor upon
the family or community.
The killing is viewed as a
way to restore the
reputation and honor of
the family.
E.G :Karo karri

6. Domestic Violence
Domestic Violence is a
violent confrontation
between family or
household members
involving physical harm,
sexual assault, or fear of
physical harm. The
batterer uses acts of
violence and a series of
behaviors, including
intimidation, threats,
psychological abuse, and
isolation to coerce and to
control the other person.

7. Dowry abuse
Dowry-related violence is
a serious problem that
affects the lives of women
and girls. Dowry includes
gifts, money, goods or
property given from the
bride’s family to the
groom or in-laws before,
during or anytime after
the marriage. Dowry is a
response to explicit or
implicit demands or
expectations of the groom
or his family.

8. Acid throwing
Acid attack or vitriolage is
a form of violent assault.
Perpetrators of these
attacks throw acid at their
victims (usually at their
faces), burning them, and
damaging skin tissue,
often exposing and
sometimes dissolving the
bones.

9. I want to say that Please
• Respect all women.
• Treat them good.
• Educate them.
• Encourage them.
Because
“Women hold up half the sky at the same height
as by men” (Mao).
