The Eleventh Amendment Bill to the Constitution of Pakistan (Urdu: آئین پاکستان میں گیارہویں ترمیم) was presented in the Senate on 31 August 1989. It was moved by Senators Mr. Muhammad Ali Khan, Dr. Noor Jehan Panezai and Syed Faseih Iqbal. The Amendment sought to restore the seats for Women in National Assembly to 20.
