Abstract

In the male-dominated society, violence against women becomes a reality. This paper analyses the cases of 858 violent crimes reported in the Sindhi daily newspapers during the years of 2015 and 2016 in the Sindh province of Pakistan. The reports analysed by using content analysis procedure found there were 199 cases of abduction, 157 of honour killing, 228 of murder, 108 of rape and 166 of suicides. In the reported cases women was a victim, and almost in the 50% of the cases the husbands was perpetrator who used firearm weapon to carry their acts. The motives behind honour killings and murders were domestic conflicts and suspicion of illicit relationships of women with men, while for the kidnapping/abduction, land disputes and matrimonial issues remained significant. Women being victims deserve serious attention to protect from such violence by having effective policies especially in the rural areas of Sindh and Pakistan
