摘要：Women have always been treated as second grade citizen in Pakistan. Pakistan is
considered the 3rd unsafe country for women to live. Pakistani women are facing
problems in their private and public life. Violence is the most thriving issue for the
women in Pakistan. The main reason of the wide spread violence is poverty and
ignorance. Social structure is not supporting woman although gender ratio of
population is more than half. This paper is an attempt to explore the causes and types
of violence in Pakistan. It also deals with the effects of violence in society. State has
introduced a number of legislations but the common woman in Pakistan is conscious
about her rights. The state of Pakistan is not progressed without the help of other
gender. State and women both have to take the task to eradicate the issue of violence.
