2022 report on the femicide crisis in Pakistan

Executive Summary

The severe femicide crisis in Pakistan is said to be rooted in patriarchal norms, structural oppression, and systemic impunity. High-profile cases sparked public outrage and activist movements, but conviction rates remain very low. Gendered disinformation, victim blaming, inadequate shelters, and state neglect continue to endanger women. Activists push for legal reform, better support systems, and education.

Pakistani media (...) blame women for violence committed against them, absolving the perpetrator and society at large of any accountability in the matter.
