A Review of Child Sexual Abuse in Pakistan Based on Data from “Sahil” Organization

Child sexual abuse (CSA) is an unrevealed but an alarming issue in every civilized society. This paper examines the reported incidents of child sexual abuse in Pakistan. Its primary goal is to assess the currently available data on incidents of CSA in Pakistan from 2010 to 2016, while the specific objective is to understand the magnitude, as well as nature and context of the problem. Data on CSA from 2010 to 2016 were collected from the "annual cruel numbers" of the "Sahil" organization, which revealed that incidents of CSA have increased in Pakistan since 2010. The data show that 2,252 incidents of CSA (Boys 606 and Girls 1,646) occurred in 2010 and a larger number, 4,139 incidents (Boys 1,729 and Girls 2,410), occurred in 2016. Most of the survivors belonged to the Punjab province of Pakistan (1,723 out of 2,252 in 2010 and 2,676 out of 4,139 in 2016). Most abusers were acquaintances of their victims (3,964 in 2010 and 1,829 in 2016). The majority of incest cases were observed in 2012 (144 cases).  The victim's home was a place of abuse in most incidents (306 incidents in 2010 and 594 in 2016). Government, as well as non-governmental organizations, should raise awareness of CSA. Furthermore, religious leaders must play their role to curb occurrence of CSA by preaching about its religious implications

Maternity Health Workers’ Views on the Effect of Social Conditions on The Maternal Mortality Rate in Hyderabad District, Pakistan

The objective of the study was to find out the leading social factors causing maternal mortality in Hyderabad district A total of 125 maternity health workers including qualified gynecologists /obstetricians and undergraduate trained obstetricians from Hyderabad district (Sindh, Pakistan) were interviewed on the effect of social conditions on the maternal mortality rate with a predesigned close ended questionnaire. The period of study was four months from November 2016 to February 2017. It has been found that majority of the respondents revealed that a good number of complicated maternity cases are refused for admission due to unavailability of required facilities to treat such patients. This is considered one of the major reasons for maternal mortality death. Unavailability of required transport on an urgent basis is considered yet another cause. Leading causes of maternal mortality were poverty 41.6%), negligence of family men (27.2%), illiteracy (12%), malnutrition (11.2%) and non-availability of medical facilities (8%) at the center of primary care.  It is a fact that socio cultural factor does influence the maternal mortality. Our findings resonate with the findings elsewhere. This necessitates to take corrective measures to improve the healthcare conditions of pregnant mother. </jats:p
