Another burka-clad woman sexually assaulted in daylight in Karachi

Another case of sexual harassment in Karachi has emerged after a video showing a burqa-clad woman being caught and molested by a man before she quickly escaped. The incident occurred at a street in a neighborhood near Madina Masjid.

We feel it is necessary to mention that the woman was burqa-clad; she was not wearing any type of clothing that is categorised by men as ‘tempting’. Prominent figures in our country, including our leaders, have said that women provoke men to harass them when they wear revealing clothes.

According to GEO, the incident was recorded at around 10:55 am in the morning.

The news publication reported the police were unsuccessful in catching the culprit. They had also not been contacted by anyone to pursue this case, and the survivor has not been identified.

This is the second incidence in Karachi of public assault of a woman who is covered in a burqa. Previously in July, a man was caught on camera stripping down on a street and trying to sexually assault a woman who was passing him by.
