It is necessary to provide relief and protection to women against
misuse and abuse of law and to prevent their exploitation.The first
Bill of Rights for women was laid out (in the Quaranic Chapter on
Women Al-Nisa and Other Quaranic Chapters/verses), nearly fourteen
hundred years ago. In fact, women's roles and responsibilities as
engendered in Islam, accord them a high status in the family and
society.For years, women in Pakistan have been severely
disadvantaged and discriminated against. They have been denied the
enjoyment of a whole range of rights - economic, social, civil and
political rights and often deprivation in one of these areas has
entailed discrimination in another. Women, who have been denied
social rights including the right to education, are more easily
abused in the family and community and are more likely to be
deprived of the right to legal redress. Often abuses are
compounded; poor girls and women are trafficked and subject to
forced marriage, forced prostitution or exploitative work
situations such as bonded labor. In all of these situations they
are likely to be mentally, physically and sexually abused, again
without having the wherewithal to obtain justice.
