Abstract

 This research paper delves into the status of women in Pakistan's contemporary society, aiming to identify the multifaceted challenges they face. The study employs qualitative methods, utilizing descriptive and analytical approaches. Data is drawn from surveys, research reports, and interviews conducted with Pakistani doctors, students, and scholars. The paper explores the ideological foundations of Pakistan regarding women's rights and compares them with the current reality. While Pakistan's ideology emphasizes gender equality, the lived experience of women in the country reveals a stark contrast. Various factors, including cultural norms and customs, contribute to the uneven status of women in different regions and classes. The paper also examines the health, education, and safety concerns of Pakistani women and presents recommendations to address these issues. It concludes by highlighting the responsibilities of different stakeholders in improving the current situation of women in Pakistan.
