Bitter Winter investigated a case of sexual harassment in the Pakistani embassy in Spain . The former ambassador to Italy was found guilty of sexually assaulting a female Pakistani Trade Officer of the Embassy for months .
Islamabad, Pakistan, December 8 : The violence against women in Pakistan, including the recent sexual harassment at the Pakistani Embassy in Mexico, is a result of the Pakistani government's inability to act, and the problem is systemic, writes Massimo Introvigne, author of Bitter Winter.The journal that publishes human rights issues is becoming more gossipy than the book that first focused on alleged sexual harassment by male Pakistani diplomats.The story unfolded about an older married man in a position of influence who allegedly seduced a younger child by promising to divorce his wife and marry her, a promise he had no intention of keeping.If true, the story would not be positive news for the Islamic Republic but it would be as old as the tale of married men and naive young women.But there are women Pakistani Foreign Ministry officers and employees who are still protesting a regular pattern of bullying.
In August 2022, it was revealed that a senior Pakistani diplomat who held high positions and was then Consul General in Barcelona, Spain, had been accused of sending abusive messages to a female employee on social media and then assaulting her in a hotel.The Foreign Ministry sent a two-member team to Barcelona and Madrid to look into the case, according to Bitter Winter, citing The Nation.The Foreign Office removed the officer from his office and recalled him to the headquarters in Islamabad on May 14, 2022, where he was facing disciplinary action.The Foreign Office announced that after thorough investigation and investigation, accused Nadeem Riaz, the head of mission embassy of Pakistan, Rome Italy, was prosecuted against and imposed with a major fine of dismissal from service under section 4(4) of the Act 2010. The case was also covered by Italian media, which it appears is true that women who work in Pakistani embassies in other countries have a problem, though the allegations should never be generalized and we have no reason to doubt that the majority of the country's male diplomats are not engaged in intimidating female colleagues and employees, according to Bitter Winter.
