35% of women in Pakistan’s workplaces, including universities, are pressured by colleagues and bosses to stay silent about harassment

According to a survey by Dawn, 35% of women in Pakistan’s workplaces, including universities, are pressured by colleagues and bosses to stay silent about harassment—allowing the cycle of abuse to continue.

Change begins with awareness, and to foster it, our team conducted an insightful session at Federal Govt Degree College for Women, Peshawar. Engaging with faculty, students, and the Principal, we held meaningful discussions on workplace harassment, focusing on legal rights, reporting mechanisms, and the power of speaking up.
