Abstract
This paper studied the human rights violations during the dictatorial regime of Zia ul Haq in Pakistan. The paper examined the Zia government in historical perspective in order to scrutinize his process of Islamization and to know how and why he used the Islam as a political tool. He also used it for the introduction of laws based on the gender-discrimination which seriously weakened women rights. The paper also examined the Law of Evidence, Zina and Hudood ordinances and their inflexible and archaic rules that govern morality and sexual behaviour under Pakistani laws. It also brought to the lime lights the problems and difficulties faced by the female rape victims, in getting justice. The paper also explored the women‟s and feminist resistance in Pakistan against the gender discriminatory laws. The resistance strategies and techniques were adopted by organizations for women‟s rights in Pakistan.
