| 1 | Noting With Grave Concern that around 32 percent of women in Pakistan have experienced |
| 2 | physical violence and 20 percent of married women have experienced spousal, physical, or |
| 3 | emotional violence at some point in their life. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | Keeping in mind that the percentage is most likely higher due to the fact that a majority of women |
| 6 | are too scared to speak out about the abuse and violence they experience. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | Drawing attention to the fact that Pakistan is ranked the fifth most populated country in the world |
| 9 | largely due to the preganancies caused by the sexual assault and harassment women in Pakistan |
| 10 | face. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | Stressing the fact that Pakistan has the sixth highest number of women under 18 being married |
| 13 | without their consent, greatly increasing the amount of sexual assaults and unwanted pregnancies, |
| 14 | leading to most women having multiple unwanted pregnancies by the age of 20. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | The delegation of Pakistan does hereby: |
| 17 | |
| 18 | Urge the United Nations and the government of Pakistan to work to educate the men of Pakistan |
| 19 | about women’s issues and domestic abuse through public campaigns, media, and service |
| 20 | announcements. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | Stresses the need for a new system to train the police force on how to work against domestic |
| 23 | violence and sexual assault against women. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | Calls for the United Nations to work with the Pakistani government to provide anonymous and safe |
| 26 | sexual assault kits for women without fear of retaliation. |
| 27 | |
| 28 | Requests financial aid from developed nations and international non-profits to provide homes and |
| 29 | schools for the majority of displaced families, reducing the preconditions that lead to sexual |
| 30 | violence and child marriages. |
