The “Federal Sexual Violence Response Framework” (FSVRF) is a comprehensive compendium that outlines primary, secondary, and tertiary responses to incidents of sexual violence. This unique framework provides concrete actions for relevant government functionaries and civil society organizations, covering prevention, victim protection, prosecution of sexual offenses, and victim rehabilitation. The FSVRF takes into account various legislative interventions, such as the Anti-Rape (Investigation and Trial) Act 2021, and consolidates relevant legislation, judicial guidelines, and good practices to offer a comprehensive response to the issue of sexual violence in Pakistan.
