Women, Violence and Conflict in Pakistan

Author

  • International Crisis Group

Abstract

This report presents an overview of both legal frameworks that have institutionalised discrimination and fuelled religious intolerance and violence against women and a dysfunctional criminal justice system that has failed to protect them and emboldened extremists. It assesses progress achieved and opportunities lost since democracy was restored. With a special focus on FATA and KPK, where the state’s writ and the rule of law is fast shrinking, it discusses the potential role for women in devising state policies to counter violent extremism and in the prevention and resolution of conflict.
