Abstract
From the dawn of Pakistan’s independence in 1947 to the present day in September 2025, the struggle for women’s rights has been marked by systemic violence, political repression, and societal betrayal. This dossier chronicles the harrowing experiences of women who faced murder, torture, and illegal detention for daring to challenge patriarchal traditions or political oppression. Each case, grounded in verifiable reports, reflects a broader pattern of gender-based abuse: honor killings that claim more than 1,000 lives annually, enforced disappearances in conflict zones, and politically motivated arrests targeting dissent. These stories—from Fatima Jinnah’s contested death to the abductions of contemporary activists—form a chilling tapestry of courage against impunity. With professional rigor and moral urgency, this document demands accountability and reform, honoring the unyielding spirits of Pakistan’s women.
