The present study has been designed to know about violence against
working women. The main purpose of this study is to explain the
phenomenon of violence, at what extent the violence is present in
our society. This study reveals that not only domestic females face
the cruel violence but also working and educated class of females
faces this uncivilized behavior. The promulgation of state backed
discriminatory legislation from 1978 on wards and a systematic
media advocacy that focused on the women's reproductive role and
protect them from the un-due male biasness in society, led to an
increase in the incidence of violence against working women and
encouraged the erosion of their rights. In our male dominant
society, various circle s of torturing women by men are continuing.
The law makers, civil administration, voluntary organizations are
still unsuccessful in inspiring the society to end this evil custom
as there is big gaps between the practice and the actual perceived
practice. The social discourse in patriarchal societies like
Pakistan continues to uphold not only the false division of social
discrimination but also a hurdle in the gender mainstreaming.
