In law firms if a woman steps forward to hear the case of a client they are not taken seriously, nor are they given full details of the case, she said and added that in court the judges are still respectful and supportive but the lawyers usually call female lawyers with odd names like \u201cBibi,\u2019\u2019 \u201cMuhtrama\u201d instead of referring to them in a more professionally appropriate manner,\u201d she said&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>About what Women\u2019s Day means for her Advocate Rizwana said, for me it is an ode paid to women who struggled to get their rights and due to them many ladies are living a better life. No doubt women in Pakistan have come a long way which can be seen in almost all professions and there are many female role models, still women are trying to get their basic rights, she maintained.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source: VNS, Sukkur<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SUKKUR, March 10 (APP):Prominent lawyer, women`s rights activist, Advocate Rizwana Memon while hailing the women&#8217; s\u00a0 role across the country has said women in Pakistan could\u00a0 be seen in every sphere and excelling with great energy.
