Asma Jahangir: A Beacon of Human Rights in Pakistan and Beyond

Abstract

The services rendered by the late Asma Jahangir, an advocate of the Supreme Court and
a symbol of Human Rights, have been among the most outstanding contributions to
humanity in Pakistan and abroad. As a human rights activist, she stood steadfast
against all forms of aggression and raised her voice against the exploitation of the
rights of women and minorities. She served as the founding Chairperson of the Human
Rights Commission of Pakistan, an independent group, and remained a trustee of the
international crisis group. This paper highlights Asma Jahangir's services in various
aspects of life, including Human Rights, Children's Rights, and the rights of minorities.
The methodology is based on qualitative research techniques, and secondary sources
have been utilized for data collection and content analysis. This study holds significance
as it is the first of its kind in the field of human rights and is expected to make a
substantial contribution to existing literature.
