2022 - 6: Female Crime Fighters

Figures suggest nearly one in three women in Pakistan have experienced domestic violence from a man they know personally - with hundreds if not thousands, of women murdered, assaulted or kidnapped each year. The formation of Pakistan's first Gender Protection Unit means that female officers are at the forefront of attempts to reverse the deadly trend. Reporter Fatima Manji follows the work of those who are striving to provide the most vulnerable women with a safe environment to seek justice. Meanwhile, a more conservative counter movement is also finding its voice in a campaign against what they describe as female `vulgarity" that weakens family values.
