women are sold there are about 1,500 Bengali women in jail and about 200,000 women and
children sold into in the slave trade.(estimates by Human Rights organizations in Pakistan, Trafficking in Women and Children: The Cases of Bangladesh, p.14, UBINIG, 1995)
There are over 200,000 undocumented Bangladeshi women in Pakistan, including some 2,000 in jails and shelters. Bangladeshis comprise 80 percent, and Burmese 14 percent, of Karachi’s undocumented immigrants.

A Bengali or Burmese woman could be sold in
Pakistan for US$1,500 - 2,500 - depending on age, looks, docility and virginity. For each child or woman sold, the police claim a 15 to 20 percent “commission.” (“Rights-South Asia: Slavery Still A Thriving Trade,” IPS, 29 December 1997)
Women kidnapped at the Pakistan-Afghanistan border are being sold in the marketplace for R600 per kilogram as of 1991. (CATW - Asia Pacific, Trafficking in Women and Prostitution in the Asia Pacific)

The reports show pakistan to have quite a record when it comes to sexual exploitation of women. Arabs are famous worldwide for their lecherous behavior. would i be right if i blame prostitution in pakistan on islam? how would it be different from what you accused hindus/buddhists/christians to be guilty of? Please explain why the reports contradict your post quite a few times.
