is considered to be a big worry in the course of growth.So thats the reason why acting as well as working as to improve or eliminate women's empowerment is th key factor in improving the economic, political and social conditions in Pakistan. Gender equality and women em
powerment are human rights and those core issues which lie at the heart of development and achievement, they move parallel to each other. A country cannot succeed untill and unless the women and men are treated and considered equal, they get their rights and most importantly also a country cannot progress with out the contribution of the women living there, to get success it is equally important that the contribution of both men and women is there..As you cannot clap with one hand same is the case here.Women across the region are still deined their rights under the law and in practice. There is a dire need of actually working on the knowledge and education of both men and women in Pakistan regarding this sensitive and miserable issue. When there is no difference in both the genders in our religion Islam then who are we to create differences. This is now actually speading as a cancer in our society. Women empowerment is not restricted to controll over reproduction or financial independence only, where as a combination of literacy, employement and health also. So men and women in Pakistan really need to be shaken up on this issue because this is really important for the survival, growth and effective developement of Pakistan. Women empowerment is really important and useful for the developement of our country as it represents women as an active agents rather than a passive recipients of development policies.
A great number of studies have actually shown that if women are provided with their rights to get education, work, speak for themselves especially and health then they have more power over their house hold decision making, then they will also be a better mother to their children. They will manage to bring up good citizens to our counry. These studies have also shown that women empowerment has a positive relation with the well-being of children and lead in the betterment of the family. Also this will bring better environments in the family which then have positive effect in the society all togather as well. Hence this would result in good decision making process, evaluation planning and policy formulation around Pakistan.Not only this, but will also manage to increase source of income. This will bring up more revenues to not only the family but also to the country, resulting in the increase in the GDP. Hence would work as a catalyst in the reduction of poverty resulting in more growth.If this issue is treated well and in time, then this will lead towards brighter and prosperous Pakistan InshAllah.

ReplyDeleteGreat writing. Philosophical, impressed by your thought. Keep on writing.
ReplyDeletei definetly agree with this stance. People fail to give credit to women. They are the ones who have the capability to run thier houses and be amazing at whatever they do single handedly. the future is in our hands!
ReplyDeletedefinitelyyyy!! women have a steady head on their shoulders and we need to support each other in order to progress in this country! brilliant article:)
ReplyDeleteVery important issue discussed by Mariam javed.I an really glad to see her courage for women participation in building the nation. i believe that there is no tool for development more effective than the empowerment of women.

Mariam raised a very important issue here... Women bear almost all responsibility for meeting basic needs of the family, yet are systematically denied the resources, information and freedom of action they need to fulfill this responsibility.Therefore, investment in women's empowerment is the key element in improving the economic, political and social conditions in Pakistan.This so called "enlightened moderation" rather then exposing women physically should work on providing women resources and equal opportunities as men which of course is in the best interest of our beloved country.
ReplyDeleteThe issue raised here hits exactly on the dot. In a developing country like ours, the focus should be on collective effort by all rather than limiting our resources due to prejudices like gender discrimination.
ReplyDeleteI think women empowerment is important but it does not necessarily mean using them to sell products or employing them for personal selling.. it means the promotion of cottage industries .. that is the best to reap productivity from them in a way that does not affect their personal lives adversely!
ReplyDeleteI encourage the issue raised by Mariam Javed. Women are not puppets to be controlled or items for amusement and ornament. They have brains to think and hearts which feel. Lets empower them so they contribute positively and independently in society. I am sure then the 'road towards progress' would be much easier to travel on....
ReplyDeletewomen will always support and root for women but only well educated and secure males will agree with our stance. Hope we are also able to enlighten more men in joining hands with our mission.
ReplyDeletei completely agree with th issue raised in his article, men and women are equal, one gender is not superior than the other, but unfortunatley a large segment of our society still believes that women is a lesser gender, due to this concept women are b eing treated worst than anything.i think what we lack in our society is proper education, both religious and worldly, man and women should both know what the rights of women are and how they should be treated, i feel spreading awareness and education can give women the status they deserve in our society.
ReplyDeleteI truely support this issue n i think no nation can rise to the height of glory unless the women are side by side with men, we are victims of evil customs. It is a crime against humanity that our women are shut up within the four walls of the houses as prisoners.
