Factors affecting of violence, Harassment and Trafficking against the Women

Abstract

Any person who suffered sexual or gender-based violence is often referred to as a survivor of violence. Although it has a similar meaning to "victim," some prefer it because it suggests resiliency. Pakistan is both an origin and a destination country for women trafficking. Poverty, gender discrimination, a lack of education, and a lack of awareness of legal rights are a few of the main causes. Gender disparity is a major contributor to sexual harassment in the workplace. Sexual harassment can be making more severe for a person by inequalities in power based on by other forms of injustice. Gender inequality is a major contributor to sexual harassment in the workplace.  Sexual harassment can be made more severe for a person by power disparities driven on by other types of discrimination and injustice. The unequal distribution of power, resources, opportunities, and value that both genders enjoy in a society as a result of the institutions and gendered norms that are in place. Sexual harassment at work is when a person receives unwelcome or unwanted sexual attention while they are at work and it interferes with their ability to do their job, feels humiliated, guilty, or upset. It covers any such sexually explicit acts and attitudes accomplished by a single person or by a single person under the direction of multiple workers. Violence against women has become the "norm" in Pakistan as a result of the astounding acceptance of a historically reactionary and feudal mindset. Despite the fact that legislation has been passed to address this important issue, the current state of affairs is disappointing and distressing. There would be numerous activities required at these three levels for the protection of violence, harassment, and trafficking as well as for the protection of victims and the punishment of traffickers. As a result of the profoundly embedded patriarchal system at play in both public and private life, our analyses' findings show that women are subjected to structural, cultural, and direct forms of violence. Male members of society must overcome this challenge and bring about reform on all levels. Women's lives are constantly at danger in patriarchal societies like Pakistan.
