In recent years, Pakistan has seen a considerable increase in the number of offenses, particularly those involving sexual harassment. Women tend to get stressed easily even in routine situations because they have this looming fear of having their privacy invaded. Also, women in Pakistan do not have many combatting skills either. Therefore, they either resort to staying at home or they make someone accompany them (preferably a male family member) in public places.
