Development of Animal Law in Pakistan. During the course of the GAP Year, Hira intends to develop an open-access website that will contain a repository of information about animal law in Pakistan. Furthermore, Hira plans to conduct a number of webinars on animal legal developments in Pakistan, along with researching and writing the first ever comprehensive textbook on animal law in Pakistan. Hira also aims to use her GAP funding to institute strategic impact litigation on behalf of animals in Pakistan. Lastly, one of her key objectives is to involve law students and young lawyers from Pakistan in these GAP projects to perpetuate animal law as a field in the country.
