As a general comment, it is documented that many women in Pakistan are hesitant to report domestic violence, as they fear it will affect how they are viewed in society. This keeps them trapped and they're less likely to report domestic violence in the workplace.[50]
It appears the manager/employer is responsible for managing any domestic violence in the workplace and ensuring The Protection Against Harassment of Women at the Workplace Act 2010 is followed.[51]The full responsibility for protecting women against harassment has been laid on the management of an organization, indicating that an employer is responsible for implementing the relevant provisions of The Protection Against Harassment of Women at the Workplace Act. According to Section 11, employers are responsible for the effective incorporation of the Code of Conduct for protection against harassment as part of their management policy to form an inquiry committee referred to in Section 3, and to designate a competent authority referred to in Section 4.
The employer's responsibility does not end with the display of the Code of Conduct and formation of an inquiry committee; it also extends to making temporary adjustments so as to ensure that the accused and the complainant do not have any interaction with each other during the investigation period.[52]The Punjab Protection of Women against Violence Act 2016 suggests that women's housing rights will be protected. This can only be true if the act is enforced. The act includes a "residence order" that states the following:
This order will ensure that the aggrieved is not evicted from the house and that she may be relocated to a shelter home or an alternate accommodation according to her wishes. The alternate accommodation or rent for it will be provided by the perpetrator.[54]
