Islamabad, March 30, 2022 (PPI-OT):According to a Gallup Pakistan Survey in Pakistan (and similar surveys done by the Worldwide Independent Network of Market Research (WIN) across the world), 15% of Pakistanis claim that they have experienced some form of violence (either physical or psychological) in the past; 14% of global respondents report this.
These findings emerge from an international survey conducted across the globe by The Worldwide Independent Network of Market Research (WIN) – a global network conducting market research and opinion polls in every continent. WIN International has published the Annual WIN World Survey (WWS – 2021), exploring the views and beliefs of 33236 individuals, among citizens from 39 countries across the globe. On International Women’s Day, WIN releases the latest results of the survey about gender equality, violence, and sexual harassment, to understand what are, if any, the improvements around the world in terms of equal opportunities and rights. The fieldwork for Pakistan was conducted between 10th October and 11th November 2021 and the sample size was 1000 individuals.
A nationally representative sample of adult men and women from across the four provinces was asked the following question, “Have you suffered from any kind of violence (either physical or psychological) in the past year?” In response to this question in Pakistan, 15% said yes and 85% said no. At a global level, results about women experiencing physical or psychological violence are unfortunately stable compared to previous years: 16% in 2021, 17% in 2020, 16% in 2019.
