Title: Perspectives on Contemporary Pakistan
Heading: Factors Holding Back Women from Finding Justice
Sindh, Balochistan and the Punjab have passed spousal violence Acts with
varying degrees of strength and weakness. However, there are many factors that
deter women from accessing the legal channels available to them. These hurdles
include police practices, a lengthy and lethargic judicial process, widespread
corruption and inefciency in the public departments, coupled with social norms
looking unfavourably on the women who venture legal redress.

Title: Futures in Peril: The Rise of Child Labor in the Pandemic

Heading: The work is often risky and illegal

Former pupils have been forced into heavy manual labor on construction or

demolition sites, picking through garbage, doing sex work, mining for sand or

working in factories making cigarettes or fireworks. The jobs carry risks of injury,

or worse, and the hazards are especially acute for children — more so when they
lack protective equipment, or even shoes. In the Indian city of Tumakuru, an 11-

year-old boy, Rahul, set out barefoot with his father on a recent morning to

scavenge for recyclables at a waste dump. ( Pérez-Peña, 2020)

Title: 6 Major Social Problems of Pakistan and Their Solutions

Heading: Gender Inequality

Gender inequality in Pakistan, and its influence on malnutrition, begins at the time

of childbirth. Despite significant shifts in beliefs, a girl’s birth is still not celebrated

today. There is a difference in attention paid to women and men. Several taboos

prevent females from routinely eating nutrient-dense foods like meat and eggs

when it comes to girls’ diets. This is associated with the girls reaching their

puberty early, and many parents believe that it would be harder to protect their

daughters from sexual harassment and males after puberty. (Javed, 2021)
