It is high time we treated our women with humanity and justice.
KARACHI: Cruelty against women is an age-old phenomenon. Women have been subjected to brutality and inexplicable exploitation for one reason or the other. In this male-dominated world, women have been treated no better than commodities, mere puppets in the hands of their so-called protectors, who may be her father, brother or subsequently her husband.
I have gone through different news stories revealing the inhumane and cruel treatment meted out to women. These stories only go on to reflect how we, as a society, have simply failed to progress sufficiently.
It is high time we treated our women with humanity and justice and I request the authorities to take strict actions against all of these criminals and make an example out of them so that no one would ever even think about carrying out such horrifying crimes against women.
