Harassment across Arab world drives women inside

The harassment, including groping and verbal abuse, appears to be designed to drive women out of public spaces and seems to happen regardless of what they are wearing. Sexual harassment, including verbal and physical assault, has been specifically criminalized in only half a dozen Arab countries. Most of the 22 Arab states only outlaw overtly violent acts like rape,In Saudi Arabia, another country where women cover themselves completely and are nearly totally segregated from men in public life, women report harassment as well. Same the story is here in pakistan also women's often feel fear to go to public places and if they go all of them do not feel independently due to the fear of harassment. We are taking about this issue for Islamic states while on the other hand we don not know the exact freedom of women's that how they lead their life.
