Unreported World: Female Crime Fighters (S2022EP6 Channel 4 Fri 6 May 2022)

According to statistics, nearly one in every three women in Pakistan has experienced domestic violence at the hands of a man they know, with hundreds, if not thousands, of women murdered, assaulted, or kidnapped each year. With the establishment of Pakistan’s first Gender Protection Unit, female officers are at the forefront of efforts to reverse the deadly trend. Fatima Manji, a reporter, follows the work of those who strive to provide a safe environment for the most vulnerable women to seek justice. Meanwhile, a more conservative counter-movement is gaining traction in a campaign against what they call female “vulgarity” that undermines family values.
