Working Strategy

The Forum is renowned for its struggle to propose legislative reforms in the enactments, and send proposed bills to the legislatures to meet the requirement of Present era. We suggest amendments in prevailing laws, substantive laws as well as procedural laws so that the Right of Fair Trial (Article 10 A of Constitution of Pakistan) may be fully secured.

For such purpose, we have established Research Department working since last 8 years. Women Islamic Lawyers’ Forum by conducting research on all proposed laws which are put forth in the shape of bill or Ordinance, not only points out the clauses which are non-Islamic and contradicting to social values, but, also put forward our concerns and recommendations to the relevant institutions.

We also have an eye on new legislation in the parliament and analyzed the proposed legislation by private and Government members of Parliament. We convey our reviews and publications to the relevant authorities.

To increase awareness about the new legislation and their rights in prevailing legal system, we conduct seminars, workshops and training sessions in different strata of society. Our Aim is to minimize the difficulties of people by giving them right and effective information about the legal system of Pakistan.

Also made public our research by publishing our research material for lawyers as well as for public.
