Last semester I worked on the "Debt bondage" article. Below is my proposal and the outline of the revisions I made.

This semester 2017 I am interested in working on the "Domestic violence in Pakistan" article. To bring this article to a higher level such as a B-class rating, more content is needed that does justice to the issue in adequate coverage of history, incidence, and socio-economic impacts. First, I will be adding an overview section that contains sub-sections of definitions of domestic violence globally and according to the Pakistani government and statistics of incidence. Definitions from Pakistani laws and scholarly review articles will be used. Furthermore, statistics from UN Women will be also be used to highlight the occurrence of domestic violence in Pakistan. Next, a brief history section will be added regarding how the Pakistani government has viewed this issue as one of public or private concern and the history behind related laws. Most importantly, the “Types of abuse” section will highlight the crux of the issue by honing in on abuses specific to Pakistan like honor killing and acid attacks. For this section, I will be primarily using articles that are case studies and review articles. Expansion on this section is necessary to show the wide range of abuses that domestic violence covers. Lastly, three other new sections will be added that cover family dynamics, policy initiatives and support organizations.
Below is a bibliography for each section planned:
