The research assesses the political activity and the legislative work of female parliamentarians serving in the Pakistani National assembly between 2018 to 2024 depending particularly on their impact on the growth of the society. The research investigates three female Pakistan leaders named Shandana Gulzar, Maleeka Bokhari, and Shazia Sobia through academic case analysis to evaluate their work in legislative domains including legal changes and gender equality and economic plans and welfare programs. These women encounter barriers including minimal high-level positions and traditional political systems but have positively influenced governmental decisions and lawmaking activities.   This article employs qualitative parliamentary analysis to study the women's underrepresentation in leadership positions during legislative activities before proposing ways to boost their political participation. The development of females in political front in terms of legislative activities is very clear, but institutional discrimination and leadership obstructions and socio-political resistance are ensuring that the latter does not fully realize their potential as the holders of influence. The paper advises the restructuring of the political organizations and designing policies that will help enlarge the number of women and also encourage essential choices in terms of the public arrangements to ensure continuous economic development of society.
