IF you are discussing a,b,c,d points under introduction, so you need not write them over here. Secondly you should give a brief history of status of women right after you introduction.



One should write catchy and comprehensible words in one's outline. I would like to add some more and important points such as:
(a) Domestic Violence
(b) Dowry abuse
(c) Acid Throwing
(d) Head and eyebrow shaving
(e) Honour Killing
(f) Vani
(g) Watta-Satta
(h) Marriage with Quran
(i) Sexual Violence
(j) Sex Ration
(k) Trafficking
(l) Health Indicators



No need to add Islamic injunctions here as examiner asks you to write the status of Pakistani women and not women in Islam. one should remain stick to the point. however, you can write some of these points in your suggestion section.



I would to like to write my points and their wording...
(a) Lack of Education
(b) Poverty
(c) Lack of Implementation of Established laws
(d) Dowry system
(e) Misconception about Islamic teachings
(f) Patriarchal Society
(g) Role of Media
(h) Lack of Women’s Empowerment
(i) Role of Police




need some improvements...




Your Introduction is GOOD, but you can make it more and more interesting. As sometimes your whole essay is judged on the basis of your Introduction. you can borrow your introduction from a good article, magazine or any other source.... let us examine my Introduction:


Woman is one of the best creatures of the universe. She has been equally endowed with in terms of intellect, prudence and rights as man has been. The state of woman in Pakistan as compared to man is awfully miserable. There are many forms of domestic violence against women ranging from psychological abuse in the form of controlling behaviour, economic abuse or pressures and social isolation; physical in the form of torturing, beating or slapping, and sexual abuse in the form of forced sexual intercourse. The traditional, behavioral and social norms that are often prevalent in an Islamic state as Pakistan, creates more difficulties for women. The prevailing systems of Purdah and Izzat are misused to push the social isolation of women and thus, women are more confined to their homes. Furthermore, in Pakistan majority of women consider the behaviour and actions of men in societies as inherited normal actions which really make them more vulnerable to any type of abuse in their home. Other prominent points for domestic violence in the Pakistani culture are societal pressures, imbalance of power between men and women which keeps women as followers of those rules and regulations of society and defiance to follow those rules leads to penalties like acid throwing, honour killings etc.

Overall your attempt is plausible...

CONCLUSION


INTRODUCTION
we have seen phenomenal changes take place across the world in recent decades,but the status and fate of women, who have been so badly treated through the centuries in almost all cultures, hasn’t changed much.Pakistan is an Islamic nation.Women in Pakistan remain at the bottom of the socio-economic ladder, and endure both physical and mental hardships at the hands of men due to social and cultural norms.In pakistan women are unfairly traeted.Education is the right of every human but unfortunately in Pakistan women are still deprived of education.
“You educate a man; you educate a man. You educate a woman; you educate a generation.” Brigham young
Women are treated as animals; they have no authority to handle their own matters.Male dominated society will be found everywhere in the world where women have to live on the mercy of men.Despite the universal protection of Islam and the rights given by the constitution of Pakistan, women are the being abused by some atrocious elements of our society. Karo-Kari,Swara and Vaani are such kind of heinous crimes that are deeply upheld by the stone-age minded people.The women in pakistan do not possess their due rights given by islam, constitution and law.the only need is to wake up pakistani people for protection of women rights.

my humble request to pointout shortcomings and other mistakes....
Dear your attempt is good as you have put relevant points. As most of your mistakes have already been pointed out by a respected member, there is no need of reiterating the same. However, I would like to suggest you few points which I deem essential. Your outline is to the point and contains almost plausible material, except the heading 'status of women around the world'. I found some irrelevancy in your introduction. For example, in your introduction I found that you have also mentioned the women status in world's or Islam's perspective. Moreover, the quote you inserted in the midst of your introductory paragraph seems to interrupt the flow of your thoughts. Besides, there are few grammatical mistakes as well. Overall attempt is commendable. The wording you used is remarkable. And your outline is also balanced and well-organized. You just have to focus on developing a coherence in your sentences so that you may express your ideas eloquently. I want you to check my attempt. I am giving you 55/100. In our essay practice giving marks to each other is important, for it enables us to justify our progress. So, it would be appropriate if prestigious members also rank one another's essay along with evaluating it. Please correct me in regard to all above written words in this paragraph, if I am wrong anywhere in my views.

Regards.
