Representation and the legal community
Opinion
The writer is a Northern Iowa public administration graduate with a specialization in policy design and implementation.
The legal community considers the constitution of Pakistan its holy grail. It does its utmost to ensure rule of law but has perhaps forgotten or chosen to ignore Article 34 regarding the full participation of women in national life and Article 25 regarding non-discrimination between sexes.
The male-dominated legal community has not made any concrete steps or campaigned to ensure that the state implements Article 34 viz a viz appointment of women in the judiciary. This male-dominated legal fraternity has also failed to guarantee meaningful representation and or participation of women in its bar councils.
