Introduction
The status of woman in Pakistan is low and she is living a miserable life. The incidents of violence against women in Pakistan are the matter of routine. The killing of woman for honor, acid throwing, keeping them uneducated and denying their fundamental rights are the common practices in our society. The gender-based discrimination is on high. It is undeniable fact that the women are being persecuted in many areas of country on account of their gender. Though the process of providing fundamental rights to woman and women empowerment is an on going process in other countries also, yet they have progressed a lot on this front. We are lagging behind in this regard. The woman is not encouraged to take part in progressive activities, rather they are persecuted and subjugated. The only way to get rid of such problems is woman empowerment and enacting and implementing more pragmatic and pro-women laws to ensure their security and prosperity. Hopefully, we are moving forward in this regard, yet the progress is very slow, and the evidence of this fact are the violence which are taking place against woman. They are multifarious. There is a dire need of taking all social realities into account and every kind of discrimination which is hampering the progress of country in general and of women in particular should urgently be addressed. Indeed, onus of doing so falls on the shoulder of those who have authority and responsibility of making things better. If really dedicated, sincere, and progressive steps are taken; we will be able to have a country where people will have opportunities and rights on the basis of their abilities and competence, not gender.
