“Legal” Harassment of Women
Pak NA passes bill against sexual harassment of women at workplace
Islamabad, Jan.21 (ANI): The Pakistan National Assembly has passed a bill to amend the existing law against sexual harassment of women at workplace.
The new amendment bill, which was moved in the Lower House by Law Minister Babar Awan, seeks to insert a new offence in the Pakistan Penal Code to provide for punishment over sexual harassment at workplaces.
The amendment, which has now been sent to the Upper House for approval, also seeks to make the offence punishable with imprisonment extending upto three years or a fine of up to 500,000 rupees, or both.
The amendment was supported by all political parties in the house apart from religious parties, The Daily Times reported.
JUI Senators Mohammad Khan Shirani, Ghafoor Haideri, Gul Naseeb Khan along with members of the Jamaat-e Islam (JI) objected to the bill, saying that it was a violation of the fundamental norms of Islam and the constitution.
They said that such a law would promote “vulgarity among women”, and proposed sending the bill to the Council of Islamic Ideology for further review. (ANI)
So, let me get this straight….some hardcore Muslims are objecting to treating women as real people because it’s a ‘violation of the fundamental norms of Islam’ to harass them? They are supposed to be treated as sluts, harassed at every turn because Islam says so? And the Pak constitution? Well, what does that say about Islam? Seems to me it speaks volumes, so where are the feminazis on this one, hmmmm??? Oh, that’s right, they don’t really give a flying flip about women at all, especially those extremely oppressed women in Muslim countries.
It is nothing less then amazing. I agree, I wonder where the left/feminists are over here. Seems this would be a battle tailor made for them. Or not.
If they gain nothing from it, they aren’t even gonna bother to bring it to the attention of their masses.
Im not understanding this….. Pakistan is on the verge of a complete melt-down, they have terrorists amongst their population, they were so bad at one point we were debating invading them, and theyre worried about “sexual harassment?” I think thats a problem to be addressed when the time is right, but right now it should be at the bottom of their to do list….
sb, they WANT to sexually harass them, that’s the problem.
I know what the problem with sexual harassment is, but it should be at the bottom of the list of problems in Pakistan
Perhaps if they had more respect for their women, they’d have more respect for themselves, and then, just possibly, they’d find more respect for life in general? Just a thought. Since all of ‘em over there are intent on slaughtering others?
