aid to refugees pouring into newly establish country.
 In early 1990s there was another rapid increase in NGOs
when new organization were formed to take advantage of
available funding under the people word programs.

The laws of NGOs in Pakistan

 Socites registration act ,1860 ( for professional , Culture
and educational bodies)
 The companion ordinance , 1984 ( it allows to NGOs to set
themselves as non profit companies.

Some NGOs in Pakistan have placed an important role in
creating awareness of issues such as human and legal rights ,
women in development ,and other population.
Other have provided badly needed services such as health
care , water and sanitation and employment opportunities for
undeveloped areas.

Numbers of NGOs in Pakistan now:

The number of active NGOs in our country at least anywhere
between 10,000 to 150,000.
By this count there is at least one NGO for every 2000 people.

and migration. Birth increase the population and while death
decrease the population. Migration also cause the population

47 to 2020 : Women in Pakistan have played an
important role through out Pakistan history and allowed to
vote in election since election since 1956. In Pakistan human

of national assembly, larder of opposition ,as well as federal .

After many decade women are finally given their rights to be
same as men are. They also have to do jobs , run their own
business and develop their professional career.

So instead of wasting the 50 percent of your human resources

we are actually using them to do something. The status of
women in Pakistan differ considerably across classes, region
and rural/ urban divided due to uneven socioeconomics
development and the impact of tribal and feudal social
formation on live women in Pakistan. Gender concern

improved with the increasing number of women are educated
and literate

of patriarchal society of Pakistan . Some of problem faced by

abortion . The global gender gap index of 2020 ranked Pakistan
151 out of 153 countries. A survey carried out by the Thomson
Reuters Foundation Pakistan as sixth most dangerous country
for women.

posed by terrorist violence to nation security . When a
spectacular attack occurs it is followed by a uproar in media .
Commentators from various walk of life condemn the terriorist
act pointing the to the dangerous of rising religious extremism
and Terrorism and government inability and unwillingness to
deal with them. Some analyst would ho to extent of Terrorism
as an extensional threat in Pakistan. Terrorism in Pakistan has
become a major and highly destructive phenomena . The
annual death from the terrorist attack has rise from 164 in
2003.

independence . This is because the people with the time moves
toward the better place. Where they have all facilities to live.
Mostly people move to big cities because of facilities. Butt if the
Urbanization is done in our own country then it doesn’t effect
on population. Butt when people move to other countries. Then
this cause Change in population. With the passage of time
Pakistan also made progress in every field. So one thing more
added in this success which is Urbanization. The most of the
people live along Indus river the people of southern. In
southern most people go it include half of the country. During
1990 to 2008 city dwellers made up of 36 percent of Pakistan
population making it most urbanized nation in South Asia .
Furthermore 50 percent of Pakistani live in town of 5000 or
more.

who live in this country. Government provide the opportunities
for education, business, jobs, and many mores. Now jobs given
to those people who are eligible of it. In business there are
