LUMS Live Session 49: The New 'Normal': Impact of COVID-19 on Women Working in the Informal Sector
Mon, Oct 12 2020 to Mon, Oct 12 2020
Most women in labour markets work in informal sectors and so the differential impact on women is expected to be much larger. This impact is not just in terms of economic factors, but there is a significant socio-psychological cost that is also being imposed on females and families.
Join us for the forty-ninth session of LUMS Live: The New 'Normal': Impact of COVID-19 on Women Working in the Informal Sector. The distinguished panelists for the discussion include Ms. Sofia Shakil, Dr. Faisal Bari and Dr. Hadia Majid.

LUMS Live Session 47: Remembering Justice Ginsburg: Confronting Women’s Challenges in Pakistan’s Legal Fraternity
LUMS Live Session 47: Remembering Justice Ginsburg: Confronting Women’s Challenges in Pakistan’s Legal Fraternity
Mon, Oct 05 2020 to Mon, Oct 05 2020
Interestingly, the current legal landscape in Pakistan is quite similar for female lawyers to what Ginsburg consistently fought against in the US. It continues to be a hostile and unwelcoming environment for them, with little progress over the years. While women are increasingly taking up space in public and private law schools across the country, their presence is almost non-existent in the top echelons of legal practice and the judiciary.
LUMS Live Session 46: Police Reform and Accountability
LUMS Live Session 46: Police Reform and Accountability
Thu, Oct 01 2020 to Thu, Oct 01 2020
One notable attempt made in this regard was the Police Order 2002 that addressed many organisational and structural problems that had hindered proper functioning of the police. Along with functional specialization, the 2002 Order also aimed to make the police more publicly accountable. It called for establishing several grievance redress and oversight bodies, consisting of elected and nominated members (including women), at the district, provincial, and national levels. However, nearly two decades onwards, the promise of reform remains unfulfilled.
