Item Summary

"This baseline study is designed to highlight the status of representation of women in the legal profession. It is one of the first studies of its kind in which province and tier-wise gender segregated data under four different categories - judiciary, bar councils, advocates and prosecutors, has been compiled in form of tables and charts to illustrate the current gender disparity prevalent in the different streams of the legal profession. It is not within the scope of this study to underpin the factors that may be the cause of the disparity. Its objective is to provide a quantitative representation of the disparity both in numbers as well as in percentages to highlight how much the gap actually is between men and women in the legal profession and its leadership roles. Accordingly, this study has been divided into five parts."
