In another proud moment for Pakistan, the country’s first female Supreme Court judge, Justice Ayesha Malik, has been named in the BBC’s list of 100 Most Inspiring and Influential Women in the World for 2022.
Justice Ayesha Malik, who wrote her name in the history books after becoming the first woman judge of a high court in a male-dominated society, was the only Pakistani woman in the 10th season of the British Broadcasting Corporation’s 100 Inspiring Women list.
On its portal, the BBC acknowledged the country’s decisions to protect women’s rights, particularly their historic decision against the two-finger virginity test.
It further mentioned that Justice Ayesha conducts training for judges around the world and has inaugurated conferences for women judges in South Asian nation, encouraging the debate around including the gender perspective in the justice system.
“Women must build a new narrative — one that includes their perspective shares their experience, and includes their stories,” the top court judge was quoted as saying.
