About this ebook

"In Pakistan, it is estimated that eight women are raped every twenty-four hours and 70 to 95 percent of women have experienced domestic violence. Few women report the crimes, and fewer still see their attackers brought to justice. Women victims of violence who turn to the criminal justice system confront a discriminatory legal regime, venal and abusive police, untrained medicolegal doctors, incompetent prosecutors, and skeptical judges. Pakistan's Commission on Inquiry for Women has reported that violence against women is one of the country's most pervasive violations of human rights, yet the government has not responded to the problem in any serious way"--Back cover.
