Every second women in pakistan suffers domestic violence .
KARACHI: Every second woman in Pakistan suffers from some form of domestic violence that has an extremely damaging effect on her physical and mental well-being, said Dr Tazeen Saeed Ali during a session held on Saturday as part of the three-day national health sciences research symposium being organised at the Aga Khan University (AKU).
Titled Mind and brain, neuroscience today and tomorrow the conference features a number of local and foreign experts discussing and sharing knowledge on subjects ranging from translational neuroscience, artificial intelligence, brain trauma management to modern approaches to epilepsy, telemedicine and new treatment paradigms in child and adolescent mental health.
According to Dr Ali, the overall prevalence of domestic violence in Pakistan ranges between 21pc and 50pc. Women suffer violence over conflict with husbands and in-laws, at times over financial matters.
“Our study has shown that 97.7pc health professionals suffered some form of domestic violence at some point of their married life whereas 72pc had to face sexual abuse at home,” Dr Ali said, adding that women facing violence also developed reproductive health problems.
Infertility, she pointed out, was also found to be a major factor that provoked violence against women, though violence had its roots in the submissive gender role the society assigned to women.
Talking about how violence impacted health, she said it could have a wide ranging negative effect as the consequent hormonal changes altered immune system, damage growth and development, digestive and reproductive systems.
She recommended a combined multi-sectoral approach and awareness of women’s rights, among other things, as part of efforts to improve societal mindset towards women.
Sharing findings of her study based on the magnitude of workplace violence towards nurses at private and public sector hospitals, Rozina Somani, senior instructor at the AKU School of Nursing and Midwifery, said interviews with 458 nurses of four hospitals showed that 82pc of them had to face some form of violence at job.
“Seventy-seven per cent faced verbal abuse whereas 10pc were subjected to sexual violence. Thirty-four per cent complained of bullying,” she said.
Continuing, she observed that prevalence of violence was 83.6pc at private and 79.5pc at government hospitals.
The perpetrators were patient relatives, staff members and patients. Nurses found most vulnerable to violence aged between 20 and 29 and had less than five years of professional experience, she said.
“Low image of women, violence within society and low image of nursing profession are some major reasons which make women vulnerable to violence,” she said.
