There is no denying that women in our society face discrimination and harassment on a daily basis. It is also shocking that the discriminant behavior towards the females at work and public places goes unchecked.
In fact, in most of the cases, the actual victim of such extraordinary behavior gets alienated while the society and the system protect the perpetrator. And even when women have the support of their family and friends, it isn’t easy to take legal action against the offenders.
To curb this behavior of discrimination and harassment in Punjab, the provincial government has worked with the FIA cybercrime department to launch a dedicated helpline where you can lodge your complaints with ease.
