Abstract

Gender discrimination is prevailing in the legal profession all over the globe. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the attitude and practices of lawyers towards gender disparity and the factors responsible for this menace in the judicial system of Pakistan. A questionnaire-based survey was conducted. A five-point Likert scale was employed for measuring the response of each participant. The SPSS (version 21) and the Microsoft office (version 2013) were utilized for data analysis. Descriptive statistics like mean, median, and percentages along with regression analysis were used to present the data. Many participants agreed with the statement “The greatest significant issue affecting woman is considered to be sexual harassment” (84.2%). Most of the participants remained neutral in response to the statement “I value every one of my coworkers, acquaintances, professors, and family members at same amount, nevertheless of their sex specification or appearance” (84.2%). Factors like male gender, having 30-40 years of age, and practicing in civil and high courts for 5 years in the field of criminal law are associated with gender discrimination in the legal profession. The participants showed neutral attitudes and practices towards gender discrimination.
巴基斯坦司法制度中的性别差异:律师的态度与实践
性别歧视在全球法律行业普遍存在。本研究的目的是评价律师对性别不平等的态度和做法,以及巴基斯坦司法系统中造成这种威胁的因素。进行了问卷调查。采用李克特五点量表来测量每位参与者的反应。使用SPSS (version 21)和Microsoft office (version 2013)进行数据分析。描述性统计,如平均值、中位数和百分比,以及回归分析被用于呈现数据。多数受访者认同“对女性影响最大的重大问题是性骚扰”(84.2%)。对于“不管同事、熟人、教授、家人的性别或外貌如何,我对他们的评价都是一样的”这一问题,大多数参与者(84.2%)保持中立。男性、年龄在30-40岁之间、在民事和高等法院在刑法领域执业5年等因素与法律职业中的性别歧视有关。与会者对性别歧视的态度和做法都是中立的。
