Women’s Predicament and Harassment in a Thousand Splendid Suns

Khaled Hosseini, a novelist of the Twenty first century, skilfully portrays the pitiable condition of Women in Afghani society. This paper attempts to examine how people were humiliated, brutally treated and tortured on gender based issues. Not only their fundamental human rights violated, again and again, but they were also abducted, forced to marry and sold as slaves. The present paper is a modest attempt to show the suffering of women from different perspectives such as verbal, psychological and physical. Verbal harassment includes negative words which impact victims severely. Psychological harassment inflicted by one man to another man is even more dangerous and painful. Physical Harassment exhibits the physical grief of women that is nearly equivalent to the pain of death.
