This article aims to conduct an implicative analysis of women's rights from a legal perspective in Pakistan, viewed from an international perspective. The study analyzes the laws and regulations in place in Pakistan related to women's rights and evaluates their effectiveness in upholding these rights. The study also compares Pakistan's laws on women's rights with international human rights standards and conventions. Additionally, the current state of women's rights in Pakistan is analyzed, including the challenges and barriers women face and the efforts to address these issues. Despite several domestic and international laws, flaws that endanger women continue to exist in this modern era. When the Pakistani community is considered, the situations are worse, especially in tribal and agency areas, Baluchistan, and southern Punjab. Although Pakistan has ratified all the international conventions and treaties, besides the implications of the teachings and preaching of Islam, the situation still needs improvement. This review article will look at women's rights in Pakistan from an international perspective by comparing Islamic and western ideas using a descriptive approach. The paper concludes that an implicative analysis of women's rights from a legal perspective is crucial for understanding and improving women's rights in a given country.
