Women status is a scorching issue in the underdeveloped countries, like
Pakistan, since last six decades. This article is a descriptive review of women
status and social policies in Pakistan. In this article, the situation of women in
Pakistan with regard to their poor health conditions, educational status,
economic conditions, and violence against them will be discussed. The role and
the situation for women in a customary society of Pakistan include a great
suffering. They suffer not only due to cultural constraints prevailing in the
country, but also due to the government’s unwillingness to improve women's
status. Even being a signatory of different international commitments and
having national policies to ensure gender equality, the domestic policies are still
unable to protect women from violence in Pakistan. There is a discernible gap
between the policy making in the country and their implementation mechanism,
resulting in the poor status of women in the country.
