Women are an important part of any society and in Pakistan they
contribute almost more than half of the total population of the country.
Women’s are also having major contribution in economy, about 70% women
of rural area are working in livestock and agriculture and almost 3/4th
of urban women are working in non-formal sector. Although its government
responsibility to implement laws and rule regarding women’s right but
they always need help from other institutions like non-government
organization for practical implementation of these laws. The objective
of this paper is to understand the contribution of NGO’s about women
rights. For this study secondary data is used as online data, published
data of national and international institutions are helpful and
productive. Data shown that NGO’s working on different women’s issues
including forced marriage, sexual harassment, rape, violence against
women and also provides support for women in according to distress and
detention fund act. Other area’s including women empowerment, helping
relief and rehabilitation and accessing justice and legal rights and
also fighting against the cruel practices like karo-kari, honor killing
or etc. Previous studies showed that NGO’s are facing both internal and
external challenges. Internally from within the organization to work
effectively and external challenges as NGOs are facing challenges from
government policies, institution, religious extremist, cultural
tradition of society. Government of Pakistan should take immediate
action to restrain the self-made law of “Karo-Kari” (honor killing) and
introduce strict punishment for this criminal act. Non-government
organization should start awareness programs and electronic media should
telecast programs that help to promote women right’s awareness and also
support to eliminate the self-made law of “karo-kari”(honor killing).
