Addressing Violence Against Women is Key for Socioeconomic Development and Inclusion in Pakistan 🇵🇰

World Bank Economist, Nauraiz Rana and International Human Rights Lawyer & Policy Specialist UN Women, Hira Azhar discuss the growing epidemic of gender based violence and the grass roots policies available to curb the increasing oppression of women. The United Nations Population Fund reported on November 25, 2022 that "Violence against women is one of the most prevalent human rights violations across the globe. It is a life-threatening health and protection issue. 32 per cent of women have experienced violence in Pakistan". Nauraiz Rana adds to the conversation by explaining how this is just the tip of the iceberg since cases of violence, particularly domestic violence are gravely underreported. Hira Azhar provides interesting insights on how bottom up policy making, by way of including tribal leaders, and patriarchs in different groups can actually help accelerate the process of integrating women in society and enabling accessibility towards social and financial inclusivity. Moreover, the annual criticism and brigade of hatred towards events like the Aurat March that intend to create public space for women and depict their presence in society is another indicator of how willing the masses are in efforts for female emancipation. Nauraiz Rana further elaborates on this by drawing parallels to the roadblocks faced by women in other sectors of society-- particularly the corporate world and the rising cases of workplace harassment.
