#genderbasedviolence

People are protesting against gender-based violence after a woman was sexually assaulted in Fatima Jinnah park in Islamabad, Pakistan on the 2nd of February. Many women tied their scarves, or dupattas, to the F-9 park gates as a sign of solidarity. It’s the second major incident to happen in the city’s largest park in the last few years. Pakistan’s conviction rates for sexual assault cases remains extremely low, with survivors and their families fearing the cultural stigma of speaking out. Human rights campaigners are critical of the police handling of cases like these and believe more needs to be done. #pakistan #islamabad #f9park #fatimajinnahpark #womensrights #f9park_islamabad #genderbasedviolence #WomenOfTikTok #womenschoice #womensafety #stopviolenceagainstwomen | A Woman Was Attacked In A Park In Pakistan And People Are Furious With The Police | Hundreds of people protested in the park demanding police take action and arrest the attackers.
