International Human Rights Day 10 December is also celebrated as Women's Rights Day in Pakistan.
The status of women in Pakistan is slightly better than Afghanistan, which ranks the last in the world!
Unfortunately, even the women's rights organizations do not highlight the real issues of women in Pakistan. Half evidentiary value of a woman's testimony, unequal matrimonial laws, violence, rapes, harassment against women, forced marriages, low salaries of working women, exploitation in the name of belief and custom etc.
Some reports reveal the status of women in Pakistan:
Violence against Women and Girls
(Human Rights Watch)
Violence against women and girls—including rape, murder, acid attacks, domestic violence, denial of education, sexual harassment at work, and child and forced marriage—is a serious problem throughout Pakistan. Human rights defenders estimate that roughly 1,000 women are murdered in so-called “honor killings” every year.
The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) estimates that 18.9 million girls in Pakistan are married before the age of 18 and 4.6 million before 15. Many married girls are forced into dangerous pregnancies at a young age and pregnancies that are too closely spaced. Women from religious minority communities remain particularly vulnerable to forced marriage. The government did little to stop such early and forced marriages.
There was nationwide outrage after a woman was raped at gunpoint in a park in Islamabad on February 2. Two weeks later, the Islamabad police claimed that both alleged perpetrators were killed in an exchange of gunfire while the police attempted to arrest them.
