Violence against women, facts and figures

 

Dear Friends, Compiled by UN Women in 2011, presents data available for 86 countries on the prevalence of physical and sexual violence against women, forced sexual initiation and abuse during pregnancy, mainly drawn from leading international surveys, including: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Reproductive Health Surveys, Demographic and Health Surveys, Violence Against Women Surveys and the World Health Organization Multi-Country Study.

Perhaps the most pervasive human rights violation that we know today, violence against women devastates lives, fractures communities, and stalls development.

Harmful Practices Approximately 100 to 140 million girls and women in the world have experienced female genital mutilation/cutting, with more than 3 million girls in Africa annually at risk of the practice. More than 60 million girls worldwide are child brides, married before the age of 18, primarily in South Asia (31.1 million and Sub-Saharan Africa (14.1 million). Sexual Violence against Women and Girls An estimated 150 million girls under 18 suffered some form of sexual violence in 2002 alone. As many as 1 in 4 women experience physical and/or sexual violence during pregnancy which increases the likelihood of having a miscarriage, still birth and abortion. Up to 53 percent of women physically abused by their intimate partners are being kicked or punched in the abdomen. In Sao Paulo, Brazil, a woman is assaulted every 15 seconds. In Ecuador, adolescent girls reporting sexual violence in school identified teachers as the perpetrator in 37 percent of cases. Rape as a method of warfare Approximately 250,000 to 500,000 women and girls were raped in the 1994 Rwandan genocide. In eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, at least 200,000 cases of sexual violence, mostly involving women and girls, have been documented since 1996, though the actual numbers are considered to be much higher. Cost of Violence against Women Domestic violence alone cost approximately USD 1.16 billion in Canada and USD 5.8 billion in the United States. In Australia, violence against women and children costs an estimated USD 11.38 billion per year. Sexual Harassment Between 40 and 50 percent of women in European Union countries experience unwanted sexual advancements, physical contact or other forms of sexual harassment at their workplace. In the United States, 83 percent of girls aged 12 to 16 experienced some form of sexual harassment in public schools. Regards Shoaib Habib Memon Thatta-Sindh Cell.0314 2090252

US cannot subjugate Pakistan

 

Mr. Cameron Munter, your desire for improvement of ties with Pakistan is fully appreciated. However, the problem with hawks in Washington is that they want these terms of mututal ties with Pakistan to roll through the barrel of gun. These policy makers must ponder that this gun boat diplomacy is not only very costly but has been a failure even in the case of subjugating a non nuclear Iran, so how they expect it to succeed with a nuclear Pakistan. It should also be remembered that the then Pakistan under Z.A. Bhutto told Henry Kissenger on the French nuclear reprocessing plant issue that if you spit and ask us to clean, we may do it. But if you spit and ask us to lick it we won't . In the same context I will suggest you to read my email to President Barack Obama, which out lines the way out to mend the relationship with Pakistan. Wishing you a Happy New Year and best of luck in your endeavors to mend the broken friendship between Pakistan and the United States of America.
