Pakistan is also an Islamic county where rape cases are happening regularly. Instead of several laws and policies against rape, but yet the cases are at their peak positions. Every day numerous gender is being raped and many parents have skipped out to send their daughters for getting higher education in big cities which can lead the country towards destruction.

         Thus, there is punishment for sexual abusers. The one who does sexual harassment, in Pakistani laws for those, death penalty or imprisonment of between ten and twenty-five years. According to late lawyer Asma Jahangir, who was a co-founder of the women's rights group, women's Action Forum, up to 72% of women in Pakistan are physically or sexually abused. 

         More importantly, it is to bring your notice that Rajanpur is a city and the headquarter of Rajanpur district in the southwest part of Punjab, Pakistan. Rajanpur is a literary district where rape cases are taking place continually. Recently a woman was allegedly raped by the conductor of a passenger bus during her travel from Bhakkar to Karachi, it emerged on Monday. According to the first information report registered with the Jampur police. 

         The woman was traveling from Bhakkar to Karachi when the bus stopped at a hotel for the sake of a passenger's meal. After a few minutes later the bus conductor saw her who was lonely sleeping on the bus. He then went to her and forcibly took her to the back seat and raped her. 

          Additionally, it is not the first time that a case happened. In Pakistan, each day and on every street sexual abusers can be seen. Even though, our educational institutions are not safe where mostly female students are being targeted and abused but yet no one is asked for.

          So, these measures are to be seen very seriously, i urge to the federal government to take emergency action against this issue and protect the women to be the game of ongoing violence.
