Womens rights

Yes you right when a Pakistani women see a western women traveling all alone in Pakistan She get that feeling why she cannot

That is at least much better than I thought. I thought they pass judgements on the our morals when they see us travelling alone. I have heard so often, western women being judged in that way.

But this is truth the Pakistani People want woman to give respect to a man...

If your thinking is correct, then it looks like women are discovering that they too deserve respect.

In few of your point I am agree with you the Pakistani women don't have that much rights which we have.

That will surely change. Look how long it took for us to get the rights we have here in Europe, and we still have some ways to go before things are completely fair.

They think might this is not safe for the girls.

Then they should make it safer. Reply to this

I think for sure more safety and security is needed for women everywhere, but this sould not come at the expense of our rights and freedom.

I think a big part of the problems we have in the west is that women are still learning how best to use their freedom. Naturally they will make mistakes. I dont think the solution is to step back 100 years. Anyone who thinks things were better when we did not have so many rights, then is not considering the circumstances that caused women to risk standing up for their rights.

But, the world is by far out of balance on the male side. Balance will eventually be restored, as more and more female values are incorporated into the power systems. I wish this was going to happen in my life time, because I would love to see what the world is like then, but I think it will take a couple of centuries at least before balance is restored.

The rest of the people are just waiting to get chance.

I think that is exaggerated. Women are only unsafe in the presence of men who have criminal tendancies. I feel safe with most men here. I also know that the law supports my safety. Those rape laws in Pakistan give the message that the law does not support womens right to safety. What kind of message does this give to men.

I think the Pakistani women are much more safe then the other country. But if we say no we are safer then the Pakistani woman then i think we are wrong.

Have you compared the way in which domestic violence is dealt with by the police, social systems and law for Pakistan and the UK?

But I think if she come to know before marriage a western woman sleep with so many boys to find who is going to take care her She will never think to be come independent.

Lots of men will want her. My boyfriend and father of my baby is not my first partner.
I think, if women blame western freedom for things, they are not taking enough responsibility for their own decisions. A bit sad, when that is the case!

Although the participation of women in politics is increasing, the presence of women in the political parties as well as in the political structure at the local, provincial, and national levels remains insignificant due to cultural and structural barriers.

Fatima Jinnah, sister of Mohammad Ali Jinnah, was an instrumental figure in the Pakistan movement. In 1947, she formed the Woman's Relief Committee, which later formed the nucleus for the All Pakistan Woman's Association (APWA). She was the first Muslim woman to contest the presidency in 1965, as a candidate of the Combined Opposition Party.

Begum Shaista Ikramullah was the first woman elected member of the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan.

Begum Ra'ana Liaquat Ali Khan was a women's rights activists. She was the founder of the All Pakistan Women's Association. Begum Nusrat Bhutto wife of Prime Minister Zulfikhar Ali Bhutto, led the Pakistani delegation to the United Nations' first women's conference in 1975.

Benazir Bhutto was the first female Prime Minister of Pakistan and the first woman elected to head a Muslim country.

Dr.Fehmida Mirza is the first female speaker of the National Assembly of Pakistan. Other prominent female Pakistani politicians include Begum Nasim Wali Khan, Raja Farzana, Syeda Abida Hussain, Sherry Rehman and Tehmina Daultana.

Mukhtaran Mai a victim of gang rape has become a prominent activist for womens rights in Pakistan.
I think Women in Pakistan have progressed in various fields of life such as politics, education, economy, services, health and many more.
The Pakistani woman still need to come up and show there self but still The violence against women in Pakistan is a major problem. Feminists and women's groups in Pakistan have criticized the Pakistani government and its leaders for whitewashing the persecution of women and trying to suppress information about their plight in the international arena.Skepticism and biased attitudes against women's complaints of violence are common among prosecutors, police officers and medicolegal doctors in Pakistan. According to reports from 1990s, such complaints often face delayed/mishandled processing and inadequate/improper investigations.

Thank for the time I love to Talk about woman right.....I wish also in our Life if we get all the right. Reply to this

I think there might also be the fear of losing what is currently available to them. They have learned to live with a certain situation and gain what they could from it. If they consider change, then they have to deal with the prospect of an uncertain outcome. Probably uncertainty is what no mother wants for her daugther, so the older generations of women may discourage their daughters from persuing more rights, in the hope that they will get lucky with the current traditions and get a successful, wealthy, nice man and have children.

And, I think some of the older generation may fear what they see in the west. They may want to see other women showing an example of the new ways working before they encourage their own daughters to abandon the old ways. Western women can not yet show this glowing success, because they are still struggling to find out what to do with their own rights. But one thing is for sure, very few women over here want to go back to the old days when they werent allowed to work for reasonable wages, where marital rape and violance was legally accepted, where they werent allowed to vote......
