- Pakistan: Human rights group demands justice system overhaul for women
- Critics of existing laws highlight institutional failures and societal stigma
- Need for proactive approach from police, prosecution departments, and judiciary
Justice System Overhaul Needed
A coalition of human rights advocates has demanded an urgent overhaul of Pakistan’s justice system to protect women’s rights.
The group argues that statutory protections are being undermined by poor institutional implementation and deep-rooted societal stigma.
Institutional Failures Highlighted
Critics of existing laws point to systemic failures within law enforcement and the judiciary, which routinely deny survivors timely justice.
The lack of effective implementation remains our greatest hurdle.
