Pakistan reports 32,617 gender-based violence cases in 2024: SSDO
The Sustainable Social Development Organization (SSDO) has released its latest report, "Mapping Gender-Based Violence (GBV) in Pakistan 2024," providing a province-wise analysis of rape, honour killings, kidnapping/abduction, and domestic violence across Punjab, Sindh, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Balochistan, and Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT).
The report highlights the alarming scale of GBV cases and the extremely low conviction rates, emphasizing the need for urgent reforms in law enforcement and the judicial system.
According to the report, a total of 32,617 GBV cases were reported nationwide in 2024. These include 5,339 incidents of rape, 24,439 incidents of kidnapping/abduction, 2,238 incidents of domestic violence, and 547 cases of honor killings.
Despite these figures, conviction rates remain critically low across all provinces. The national conviction rate for rape stands at just 0.5%, while honor killings also see only 0.5% convictions. Kidnapping and abduction cases have an even lower conviction rate of 0.1%, while domestic violence cases result in convictions just 1.3% of the time.
Punjab recorded the highest number of GBV cases, with a total of 26,753. The province reported 225 honor killing cases, but only two convictions. In cases of rape, Punjab had 4,641 reported incidents, yet the conviction rate stood at merely 0.4%. Kidnapping and abduction cases were alarmingly high at 20,720, with only 16 convictions. Domestic violence cases totaled 1,167, with just three convictions.
In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), 3,397 GBV cases were recorded. Honor killings accounted for 134 cases, with two convictions. The province reported 258 rape cases, with just one conviction. Kidnapping and abduction cases stood at 943, with only one conviction. Domestic violence cases in KP totaled 446, but no convictions were recorded.
Sindh registered 1,781 GBV cases. Honor killings accounted for 134 cases, but none resulted in convictions. The province recorded 243 rape cases, again with no convictions. Kidnapping and abduction cases were reported at 2,645, yet no convictions were made. Domestic violence cases stood at 375, with no justice served in terms of convictions.
Balochistan had a total of 398 GBV cases. The province recorded 32 cases of honor killings, with just one conviction. Rape cases were reported at 21, with zero convictions. Kidnapping and abduction cases stood at 185, yet no convictions were recorded. Domestic violence cases were reported at 160, with 25 convictions—the highest among all provinces for this category.
Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) reported 220 GBV cases. Honor killings accounted for 22 cases, with no convictions. The capital recorded 176 rape cases, with only seven convictions. Data on kidnapping and abduction cases was not provided by the prosecution department. Domestic violence cases stood at 22, with no convictions recorded.
Syed Kausar Abbas, executive director of SSDO, stated that the report, based on data obtained from provincial police departments through Right of Access to Information (RTI) laws, provides an analysis of GBV cases reported in Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Balochistan during 2024.
He stressed the urgent need for meaningful reforms to protect survivors and ensure perpetrators are held accountable. Emphasizing that every survivor deserves justice, he called for improvements in police investigations, legal procedures, and trial efficiency to prevent lengthy delays that hinder justice.
He urged government institutions, civil society, and legal bodies to work together to create a system where survivors feel safe, supported, and empowered to seek justice.
Shahid Jatoi, Director Programs at SSDO, highlighted that the report’s findings reveal deep-rooted issues in Pakistan’s criminal justice system. The abysmally low conviction rates, such as 0.5% for rape and honor killings nationwide, reflect weak investigations, inadequate evidence collection, societal stigma, and a lack of judicial accountability.
He pointed out that the justice system is failing to address the scale of gender-based violence, leaving survivors vulnerable and perpetrators largely unpunished.
Limited access to legal aid, prolonged trial durations, and cultural pressures that discourage reporting or pursuing cases further exacerbate the crisis. Urgent and comprehensive reforms are needed to align Pakistan’s criminal justice system with the severity of these offenses.

Thanks for the detailed post.
Hope this doesnt dwelve into Pak bashing or another country bashing. The reality is that gender based violence and assault is a problem in the entire SC - Pak Ind Ban SL and Afg which is a totally different level. They have to recognize it. People's mindsets have to change. Without that , you cant achieve the desired results. Even 1 incident is too many. This should be a constructive discussion and an acknowlegement that this is a widespread problem in the whole of teh SC , not specific to any one country there.

If it was India, it would have been a separate thread!
A fight between 2 knobs in a marriage function gets a separate thread, but child abuse in the thousands gets hidden in a larger thread. Just shows the willingness of people to face the uncomfortable truth.

This is India. Should I make a new thread on it??
Around the time of the 2012 attack, police were recording up to 25,000 rape cases a year across India, according to data from the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB).
Since then, the annual number has largely remained above 30,000, barring the COVID-19 pandemic year of 2020, which saw a sharp fall.
Attacks peaked at nearly 39,000 in 2016. In 2018, on average one woman reported a rape every 15 minutes across the country, according to a government report.
There were more than 31,000 reported rapes in 2022.

Married couple murdered for 'honour' in Balochistan's Mastung
A married couple was shot dead allegedly by the woman's brothers in Balochistan's Mastung district for "honour", it emerged on Wednesday.
This is the second shocking incident to come from Balochistan in less than a month. Previously, a video went viral, which showed a group of men forcing a couple out of a vehicle and leading them into a desert, where they were shot at close range following orders of a tribal jirga in Degari.
Meanwhile, the Mastung couple, who were in their late 20s and originally residents of Panjgur, were shot dead at a local hotel in Lakpass area of Mastung, according to the Levies officials.
The victims were identified as Muhammad Shoaib and his wife, who contracted a love marriage seven years ago, which had later been accepted by the woman's family following reconciliation.
They added that the couple was travelling to Quetta from Panjgur at the invitation of the woman's brothers under the pretence of a family gathering.
According to the Levies, the woman’s brothers arrived at the hotel and fatally shot the couple before fleeing the scene.
The slain couple were parents of two children aged six and three, while the woman was pregnant at the time of her death, the officials said.
Five brothers of the slain woman were booked in the murder case registered at a Levies station over the complaint of Shoaib's brother. The Levies said that raids were being conducted to arrest the accused.
The woman's brothers lured the couple under false pretences and killed them, stated the First Information Report (FIR).
Meanwhile, the Balochistan government has taken notice of the incident. A spokesperson confirmed that the authorities concerned have been directed to ensure immediate action and arrest of the culprits.
The Degari honour killing incident had gained attention after the video went viral last week, sparking outrage in Pakistan and leading to the arrest of more than a dozen people, including a tribal chief.
In Pakistan, 'honour' killings continued to claim the lives of women throughout 2024.
According to the Sustainable Social Development Organisation (SSDO) 2024 report 'Mapping Gender-Based Violence (GBV) in Pakistan', 2,238 cases of domestic violence, 547 cases of honour killings and 5,339 cases of rape were reported across the country, while conviction rates stood below 2% for each of these crimes.
From January to November, a total of 346 people fell victim to 'honour' crimes in the country. The previous two years also saw a consistent rise in murders related to the so-called 'honour'.
In 2023, the country saw a total of 490 'honour' killing incidents taking place, while in 2022, as many as 590 people lost their lives to 'honour' killing.

Tragic.
These honor killings are cultural in nature. It has nothing to do with Islam. As a matter of fact, it is sinful to do honor killings.
