Abstract

Violence exists everywhere, it is not only the vanquished who has become victim to the violence, but the weak segment of society is also brought to such infliction. Similarly, the immigrants are also pushed into a quagmire where they are denied with their acceptance, identity, and even sometimes dealt with iron hand by not providing the basic facilities.  Such a failure on both sides of receiving and origin compel the people to come in conflict with both inside and outside mechanism. The current research is an attempt to get to the fact about knowing the aggression among the Afghan refugees. The study is conducted under the framework of qualitative research design. The respondents were conveniently targeted for enacting of information. The research area was delimited to two refugee camps in two districts of Malakand division. The study concludes that the inability of the male segment in terms of finding employment, less accommodative background and disrespectful behavior shown both by the receiving and administrative society has left this segment in a state of uncertain environment with perpetrating of unbearable violence on women in both the outer and inner society.
