Forensic nursing in Pakistan. Bridging the gap between victimized women and health care delivery systems.
1. Women's issues tend to be more pronounced in developing countries, where they include extreme limited resources, poor communication, vast distances, individual and community poverty, and lack of education. 2. Empowerment of victimized women depends on support, information, resources, creativity, and positive self-concept. 3. Through support, understanding, effort, and determination, the forensic nurse and Pakistani women can translate a vision into reality by the integration of victimized women into all aspects of society.
