Domestic violence is a complex issue in Pakistan, worsened by events like Sindh’s catastrophic 2022 monsoon and the COVID-19 pandemic. Pakistan ranks 145th out of 146 countries in global gender equality, with women facing limited health services, child marriage risks, and labor force exclusion.

Domestic violence encompasses physical, emotional, economic, and other forms of abuse targeting women, children, and marginalized groups.
