This study aims to identify the cases and nature of violence perpetrated against women to communicate information to the international community for creating a supportive environment and mobilizing social pressure to help end violence against women in Sindh. This analysis covers all cases reported for Sindh province, in major Sindhi Daily newspapers ‘Kawish and Awami Awaz’ in the year 2016. Findings show that out of the 858 cases reported most of the cases were of murders, 228 cases others included 199 abductions, 157 honour killings, , 108 rapes and 166 suicides. The weapon mostly used (in 60-70% of the cases) was the rifle or gun, followed by axe. The findings also provide support for the policy/law-making and institutional mechanism so that a strict implementation could be made in Pakistan to end violence against women.
