"As many as 500 divorce lawsuits were filed in Lahore’s civil family courts by women over the last 10 days, reports have revealed," according to Social Diary Magazine Pakistan.
"It was learned that many of the petitioners had chosen to marry men of their choice, whom they now want to divorce because of domestic conflicts rising from unemployment issues."
It's hard to know what happens behind closed doors, but with these piling divorce lawsuits, it's clear domestic violence is increasingly leading to divorce and in all likelihood, simply increasing.
As the economy plummets and Covid-19 numbers continue to be frightening, more people are being laid off and domestic violence increases. The need is greater than ever to combat this and your funds are playing a critical role in this. Thank you!
