Social Evils Rape cases and Child Abuse in Pakistan: An Overview

Crimes such as rape against women in Pakistan are growing and increasing day by day due to the ignorance of the Government of Pakistan. Our leaders are sitting and watching this evil show. When a political leader is worried about their political chair then, Political leaders make people come out to streets for strong demonstration. When Political leaders have committed contempt of court then soon the country's Supreme Court would have filed a contempt of court case against the political leaders. I do not say that it is wrong, but I meant to say that, these political leaders and the court does not seem such harsh that how many innocent girls are abused every day. Moreover, this figure is increasing day by day due to the ignorance of the Government and its leaders and security agencies. Now the police persons themselves are involved in crime. 

Social evils such as Rape cases and Child Abuse are Severely Increasing. Numerous FIRs (first Investigation report) were registered in various districts, cities, and provinces while severe and serious crimes like murder, child abuse and especially rape cases were frequently reported in urban districts of the country. Human life and dignity are dearer to Allah Almighty against “House of God” in Makkah city Saudi Arabia.”. Then why Pakistan political leaders and Court of Justice not taking legal and practical action against such person who has committed and involved in such crimes, who destroyed the innocent life and dignity of girls and women in the community. Islamic leaders must contribute in this regard. However, Islamic leaders are also silent on such serious matters. That would be the responsibility and duty of the Islamic leaders to preach Islam only. When Pakistan came into being. The community of that time was saying that there would be no such thing as police in Pakistan because we will live with peace and harmony.

Police have a duty to respect and protect the lives and property of the people living in society. However, the result was the opposite. Rape is one form of sexual violence and Pakistan has only one law for rape. The judiciary should expand the definition of sexual violence with the intention that incest and child molestation can also be included. Now when severe punishments are being handed over, the criminals use to file appeals in the courts and secure release. This trend should be changed, as when a court convicts an accused of such serious crime like rape or child abuse, he should not be released on appeal. I consider that the attitude of the people should also be changed concerning rape, which is a terrible crime. 

People are of the observation that the government has failed to change a century-old police system despite bringing in new Police Order and spending heavy amount on improving the Police department in an attempt to change Thana (police stations) culture and make it people-friendly. Political leaders, Islamic leaders, and security agencies like law enforcement agencies must take serious and concrete action against culprits and terminate such social evils and terrible crimes in the country. Political leaders and Islamic leaders should make Pakistan a welfare Islamic state. People must also struggle in making Pakistan an Islamic welfare state.
