Gender Discrimination

What Is Gender
Discrimination?
 Gender discrimination is a practice which we faced when
both the genders show the desire of substituting their duties
without giving and due credit to each other. In such scenario
the powerful became aggressor and other the victim of
aggression.

 GENDER DISCRIMINATION CAN ALSO BE DEFINE AS THE THINKING OF

MEN WHICH THINK THAT WOMEN ARE LESSER THEN THEM AND IT’S
THEIR RIGHT TO EITHER NOT GIVE THEM THEIR RIGHTS OR MISUSE
THEM. BASICALLY WHEN WE THINK THAT WOMEN ARE NOT EQUAL TO
MEN AND ARE NOT CAPABLE OF DOING ANYTHING GOOD THEN
GENDER DISCRIMINATION COMES INTO PLAY.
Documentary about
Gender
Discrimination
A few days ago I was watching a
program on GEO TV which was showing
a documentary about gender
discrimination. They broadcasted a
research conducted in United States of
America and result was really shocking
when you consider the amount of
development in the country. In that
documentary it was revealed that
females working in American media
receive almost half the salary for the
same amount of work as compared to
men. There were some fields where
men were clearly preferred and if
female candidate turned up for an
interview she was refused by saying
that they are not recruiting new
candidates at this moment.
 Gender Discrimination in Politics

As you can see on average only 16% of parliaments

constitute on women. When one consider the
proportion of men and women in above countries
then it will be realized that number of women are
under par. One can consider that if women are
treated in such a way on these developed societies
then what will be condition in less developed
societies. Answer is not hard; most of women living in
less developed countries are simply in miserable
state.
 Gender Discrimination
In Pakistan
IN PAKISTAN WOMEN DOES NOT ENJOY SAME SORT OF LIBERTY AS COMPARED TO WEST. OUR SOCIETY IS JUST
RIGHT PLACE TO EXPLOIT THE WOMEN EMOTIONALLY, PHYSICALLY OR FORCEFULLY. WHEN SHE IS IN HER
PARENTS HOME SHE IS BOUND TO ACCEPT WHATEVER IS THROWN TOWARDS HER BY HER FAMILY, IN FACT IT IS
CONSIDERED TO BE HER PURPOSE OF LIFE TO ACCEPT HER FAMILY`S ORDERS EVEN IF THEY ARE ILLOGICAL
AND UNJUST. SHE MOVES UNDER SUPERVISION OF HER NEW MASTER WHEN SHE GETS MARRY AND HIS ORDERS
BECOME SCRIPT OF HER LIFE WITHOUT HAVING A RIGHT OF EXPRESSING HER OPINION BECAUSE HER OPINIONS
ARE NOT CONSIDERED WORTHY ENOUGH TO LISTEN. OFTEN WE LISTEN FROM MUSLIM SCHOLARS THAT ISLAM
HAS PROVIDED THAT RESPECT AND LOST PRESTIGE TO WOMEN BUT IT REMAINS LIMITED IN DISCUSSIONS , WE
NEVER TRIED TO GIVE IT A PRACTICAL FACE , WE ACCEPT IT BUT WE DON`T PRACTICE AND YOU KNOW WHY?
BECAUSE WE CONSIDER WOMEN A LESSER CREATURE. LET ME GET IT RIGHT, I AM NOT CRITICIZING THE VERY
NOBLE AND JUST RELIGION OF ISLAM FOR ENCOURAGING GENDER DISCRIMINATION; IN FACT I AM EXPOSING
MALE DOMINATED CULTURE OF OUR SOCIETY WHO BELIEVES ON IDEOLOGY OF ISLAM BUT STILL REFUSES TO
GIVE THE WOMEN RIGHTS WHICH ARE DIRECTED BY ISLAM. WOMEN HAS RIGHT TO CHOOSE A PERSON WHOM
SHE WANTS TO MARRY HOW MANY TIMES WE HAVE SEEN FORCED MARRIAGES IN OUR SOCIETY AND I SALUTE
TO WOMEN WHO STILL ANY HOW MANAGE TO LIVE HER LIFE .
In Pakistan, Men Is treated more favorable than women because
of racial discrimination of our society.
Any Question?
“ Gender Equality is not a
Woman’s issue, It’s a Human
issue, Its affects us all.
