Women’s Rights and Gender Equality in Islamic and Western Legal Systems: A Comparative Analysis between Pakistan, the USA, and Europe

Abstract

The comparative analysis addressed women’s rights and gender equality issues from an Islamic and Western legal perspective. Through outlining the legal development within the field, considering the legislative progress in both regions, and the historical factors of the topic development, the presented work discusses the sphere of gender balance and its legal aspects. International treaties and resolutions are required for the regions to provide the tools necessary to fight for women’s rights. Even though the legal approaches differ by regions, a multifaceted action must be widely achieved across laws and society’s change to create a global framework on gender equality.
