Abstract
Though, Pakistan came into being with pledge to provide human rights to all its citizens without any discrimination but presently the situation is otherwise. It is very discouraging to see that in reality women are not enjoying the human rights, which are available to them in black and white. Though laws exist in favour of women in the cou5ntry but most of legislation is confined only to the papers and male dominated society is least interested in its implementation. Neither legal provisions nor Qura'anic principles are followed in letter and spirit, rather the same are tried to be twisted by men in their own favour. This paper elaborates the legislation, which exists in favour of women in papers, the current status of women in our country and also provides some suggestions towards the implementation of human rights. It is after empowerment of weak segment of society, that we can become a strong and progressive nation.
