Timeline

1953

Hina Jilani (حنا جیلانی؛ born 19 December 1953 ) is a lawyer on the Supreme Court of Pakistan and a human rights activist from Lahore, Punjab.

She is the co-founder of Pakistan's first all-women law firm, Pakistan's first legal aid center, and the Women's Action Forum.

Jilani was born and raised in Pakistan.

1979

She started practicing law in 1979, while Pakistan was under martial law.

1980

In February 1980, with her sister Asma Jahangir, Jilani co-founded Pakistan's first all-female legal aid practice, AGHS Legal Aid Cell (ALAC) in Lahore.

Initially its activities were confined to providing legal aid to women, but these activities gradually increased to including legal education, protection from exploitation, legal research, and counselling.

She is also one of the founders of the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan as well as the Women's Action Forum (WAF), an advocacy group established in 1980 to campaign against discriminatory legislation.

1986

Jilani also founded Pakistan's first legal aid center in 1986.

1991

In addition to providing pro bono legal aid, she helped set up a women's shelter called Dastak in 1991.

In addition to managing the shelter, Dastak organises workshops to raise awareness for human rights and the protection of women.

Jilani is also affiliated with the United Nations Human Rights Council, the Carter Center, and the UN Conference on Women.

1999

In 1999, after working on the case of Samia Sarwar, Jilani and Jahangir were again subject to death threats.

Sarwar's mother came with a gunman to her office on the pretext of seeking reconciliation with her daughter.

The gunman shot Sarwar dead and fired at Jilani, who managed to escape.

On another occasion, gunmen entered her house and threatened members of her family.

Jilani herself was away from home; the threats put pressure on her to migrate, but she continues to live and work in Lahore.

2000

As a result of their women's activism, Jilani and her sister Asma Jahangir have been arrested, received death threats, and faced intimidation and public abuse.

Murder attempts have been made on them as well as members of their family.
