Pakistan ranks third in online child abuse.[1] [2] [3] Child sexual abuse [4] is often neglected in Pakistan .[5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] The estimated child abuse in Pakistan is more than 12 per day,[18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] in which out of total reported cases of child abuse in Pakistan 2,325 victims were girls (55%) and 1,928 (45%) boys.[25] [26] [27] [28] [29] [30] [31] [32] [20] [33] [22]
164 cases of sexual abuse , 984 abductions, 201 missing children and 14 child marriage cases are reported.[24]
In 2022 a total 4,253 cases of child abuse were reported, half of them were sexual abuse.[19] [20] In 2023, the total number of abuse victims was 2,227,[20] [21] more than half among them 54% were girls.[19] [20] [21]
In a report named cruel numbers compiled by Sahil an NGO working in Pakistan on child protection and special focus on sexual abuse,[22] [24] a total number of 53 pornographic cases[24] were reported in an investigation by the Federal Investigation Agency, which was tracking activities on the dark web .[19] [34] [22]
In Sindh , the highest (483) number of cases of child abuse were reported,[19] [20] [21] the second highest number of cases (233) were reported in Punjab .[19] [20] [21] Poverty and inflation is a big factor in people sending their children to work, or selling them to people who use them as labor , sex slaves. A major obstacle is that child abuse has become common in Pakistan.[35]
Pakistani parliament passed a new law against child abuse in 2020.[36] [37] [38] [39]
