Speakers at the event emphasized that violence against women is not just a social issue but a fundamental violation of human rights. Despite legal protections, many women continue to suffer from domestic abuse, honor killings, workplace harassment, and other forms of gender-based violence. Experts stressed the importance of strict law enforcement, awareness campaigns, and institutional reforms to create a safer environment for women.

Statistics shared during the discussion revealed alarming figures. A significant number of women in Pakistan experience violence, with many cases going unreported due to societal stigma and fear. Panelists urged the government and civil society to collaborate in ensuring women’s safety by implementing stronger policies and support systems.
