Emergency Helpline Numbers For Women & Child Protection in Pakistan

by Laiba June 28, 2020
written by Laiba June 28, 2020
LEADHers
Emergency helpline number

It is known that gender-based violence and abuse had risen during the lockdown in countries worldwide, including Pakistan. People encountered high levels of anxiety amid the pandemic, while rising levels of tensions increased abuse against women and children, with them nowhere to flee to or ask for assistance. Moreover, there were concerns that female medical staff was subject to sexual abuse at hospitals.

The government and non-government organizations were trying to aid these females and children by introducing emergency helplines. They did so when the horrific motorway incident shook the entire country.

The country has witnessed over a dozen kidnappings, rape, abuse, and brutal killings of women and children in the past month, mostly in the Punjab province. Whether it was the horrific rape of 7-year-old Zainab, or 6-year-old Marwah, or the motorway gang-rape, these cases were not reported to any of the multiple helplines that exist in the country. Maybe if reported on time, these organizations can help speed up the FIR registration process and finally provide justice to them.
