மனைவியை உயர்ந்த ஸ்தானத்தில் வைத்து மதிக்கும் பாகிஸ்தானிய இஸ்லாமிய சகோதரர்கள்

சுமார் 29 சதவீத பாகிஸ்தான் இஸ்லாமிய சகோதரர்கள் மனைவியை அறைவதும், அடிப்பதும் சரியல்ல. அதனை நியாயப்படுத்துவது தவறு என்று கூறுகிறார்கள்.

இந்து மதத்தின் அமைதி வழி, ஆன்மீக வழி இன்னும் பாகிஸ்தானில் 29 சதவீதத்தினரிடம் இருப்பது மகிழ்ச்சிகரமான விஷயம்.

71% Pak males justify beating women

Lahore, Dec 11: A recent survey on violence against women in Pakistan has found that 71 per cent males consider slapping and beating women as justifiable.

According to the survey, 80 per cent of women are victims of domestic violence in society.

Addressing a seminar on the occasion of the International Human Rights Day at the Punjab Law College (PLC) here, participants said that sustained and collective efforts were needed to end domestic violence in Pakistan.

"Islam and the country’s legislation give equal rights to women. The only need is to implement Islamic rules and legislation, and create awareness in the society about women’s rights."

Presentations were given on women rights in Islam, the Women Protection Bill and sexual harassment scenario in the country.

Government College University Clinical Psychology Department director Dr Zahid Mehmood was the chief guest.

WRCP Country Director Omer Aftab and Punjab Law College principal Dr Hadia Awan were among the speakers, the Daily Times said.

Dr Mehmood highlighted the psychological aspects of violence against women, and said it was a global problem, but of a different magnitude in Pakistan.
