The protection of women’s Rights Pakistan

Abstract

In Muslim nations, the protection of rights for females is discussed, particularly in Pakistani through the converting to Islam process, which started after the nation's development and intensified during the 1977–1988 military occupation. Women's standing and rights are thought to have suffered as a result of this process. The Pakistani Supreme Court has acknowledged its significant contribution to advancing women's rights while primarily upholding the constitution. It means that the court system might have improved women's legal status even more by addressing neglected aspects of Islamic law pertaining to proof and assisting in the resolution of legacy and Hoodoo law disputes.

It examines how Pakistani women's participation in official political arenas relates to legislative reforms that enhance the position of women. It looks at the legislation that were passed between various eras and discusses how women's participation has changed over time. It asserts that improved legislation aimed at protecting women's rights is associated with greater female involvement in politics.

Considering laws such as the Anti-Rape Law (2020) and the Safety of Women over Violence Act (2016), Pakistani women continue to encounter numerous obstacles to equality and justice. It examines Pakistan's legal safeguards for women's rights and draws attention to issues brought on by societal norms, subpar enforcement of laws, and a lack of knowledge about these rights. It also makes recommendations on how to make these laws more effective and contribute to the development of a moral society in which women's rights are upheld.
