4 Most Common Sexual Harassment Types which People face in Pakistan
1. The most common one is ‘Men harass Women’
Mostly, women have to face the sexual harassment on daily basis and in a worse possible way at various places. More than 80 % women and young girls go through this from men at workplaces, homes, public transports, educational institutions or at different public places like markets, parks etc. The main reason is, the men take the advantage of the victim’s vulnerability and helplessness.
The women of our society are usually trained to keep quiet on such issues. They rarely raise their voice against this torture. Somehow, they are afraid of the fact that the people, society and their family will ultimately blame them for any such act of harassment or abuse. Young girls who face this kind of shameful acts are not trained and confident enough to share their experience with their parents as a result harasser feel free to do whatever they feel like and there’s no one to stop them.
Usually, people who harass women or young girls belong to their own family or are close relatives. People don’t consider them guilty because they trust them unconditionally and blindly. Women should know about their rights and duties. Specially educated women, human resource professionals and popular social work organizations can offer information, advice and support to the victims as well as the common women and also counsel them how to deal with this kind of situation. Mothers should also educate and train their daughters how to face any unwanted situation.
The most important point is when women complain about the sexual harassment or abuse, she’s normally blamed for her dressing and attitude towards others which is condemnable. Ignoring the situation and person, will not help at all. Moreover, do not blame yourself for the harassment. Place the blame where it belongs to. On the harasser. Self-blame can only complicate the situation, cause depression and other psychological issues.
