The first Muslim business women were Hazrat Khadija R.A, who is not only an example for Muslim women but also for the entire women's society. Man being powerful is supposed to protect women as a shield. They are supposed to protect them not establish a slave-master relationship. But unfortunately, men have neglected their responsibility, in addition, they are becoming a hindrance for women on their road to progress and acquittal. They are duty-bound to respect women so much that it is immortal to even gaze at women unnecessarily. As society has modernized, ethics have diminished and morals have become lewder and more depraved than ever, due to which women's harassment and sexual assault have become very common in society. Women are subjected to all kinds of harassment and sexual exploitation, especially in the third-world country where there is a lack of education, training, and basic rights of women.

When a female student travels to her college by public transport she has to face harassment every other day. In the office, she has to face degenerate bosses who expect sexual favors from her in return for her rightful incentives. our society is so narrow-minded for women that they judge girls on the bases of their profession.

The professions are being judged because of this evil of sexual harassment and assault. From recent research, it has been found that over 93% of the total Pakistani women are harassed and sexually assaulted in their lifetime which is really petrifying. Most people believe the main cause of all this is risqué dressing by women some believe that it is mainly by women flourishing in the professional sector they term it as unconfined liberties given to the woman. Whereas it is the right of every woman to have her separate identity and to be independent but do not know when our society will accept it. As far as risqué dressing is concerned we should observe that women in gowns are also harassed which clearly justifies that it has nothing to do with the dressing or women's empowerment. It clearly reflects the mental sickness of men who only want to use women as sex toys and for their own personal interest and can’t see a woman as equal to themselves.

The recent immense increase in rape cases in the country has made to think about what kind of frustrated animals we are becoming that women cannot find themselves safe in men's presence. Making strict laws and empowering them to speak up against any threat or illegal pressure from another person as well as arranging international seminars for this issue, especially by glorifying the examples of women who hold a dignified place in their field of work.
