Feminist Struggle in Pakistan: A Battle for Women Rights
The equal rights movements ushered by minorities, races, ethnicities and classes have gained momentum and achieved some success in past. As the world moves on to the eradication of disparities and procurement of more advanced rights, feminism is in the spotlight, advocating for equal rights for women, who are hardly seen as part of societies dominated by men. In order to secure their basic rights, women began to claim that they were persecuted and treated as second-class citizens bv patriarchy-dominated societies. This research paper sheds light on the feminist struggle and activism in Pakistan considering the historical background, and various methodological approaches, and brings forth major findings that need to be addressed. The article employed mixed research methods integrating a qualitative approach based on scholarly literature, policy formulation, surveys, and interviews and draws analysis about the role of feminist activism in raising awareness against the oppressive norms, culture, and traditions of Pakistan.
