| Title | "How gender harassment policies can be used to empower women with respect to social and religious norms in Pakistan? Protection of women rights within a patriarchal society |
| Summary | Gender Harassment has cultural roots in South Asia. The traditionalists use culture and religion to build a patriarchal environment in which women find it hard to work with dignity and constantly face harassment. This report suggests that the current gender harassment laws in Pakistan do not have the capacity to deal with the gender harassment violence suffered by women. This structural and symbolic violence is normalized and can only be altered after state actively utilizes both repressive and ideological tools to remove gender harassment. |
