6 out of every 10 women in Pakistan are depressed.
Many Pakistani women suffer daily from violence and abuse in their homes, as well as lack of opportunities in work and education, causing the all too common mental disease: depression. The unfortunately well-known emotion of fear is a part of almost every women's life. Speaking out against this injustice is almost unheard of; the consequences are sometimes worse than what they are forced to deal with daily. However, they are just as human and just as important as men and they need to be treated that way.
