In our society, a lady cannot travel alone and if she does, the piercing eyes of men will chase her with dirty remarks. Sadly, the rape incidents have risen alarmingly high, inflicting tragic and profound pain on the victims and their loved ones. What’s even more distressing is when individuals close to them exploit the sanctity of their relationships, manipulating and taking advantage of their vulnerability for their own lustful desires.
The distressing 37.12% increase in gang rape cases in 2022 compared to the previous year reveals critical shortcomings in local intelligence, community policing, and the investigative process. These failures often result in the benefit of doubt being given to the accused, emboldening criminals, and exacerbating the issue.
In the recent past, TV channels aired a Turkish drama serial “Fatima Gul”. A village girl was gang raped by the rich and powerful boys. In the end, the boys were given exemplary punishment as their system is strongly against such a crime. On the other hand, those who remember film actress Shabnam case in Pakistan, will agree that our system lays hurdles for the victim and encourages the perpetrators. The victim either hides in shame or is silenced through coercive means.
In West, women roam around at midnight without any fear. Though such incidents do happen there as well, when reported the justice swings into action. Generally, people dare not to even stare at some lady.
Pakistan, like many other developing countries, finds itself on precarious ground when it comes to ensuring safety of women. The country’s persistently low conviction rate and the escalation of rape cases, especially in rural areas, contribute to a disconcerting “rape epidemic.” Victim-blaming and excessive supervision of women continue to perpetuate this problem.
