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.
