Women should know about their rights

Every human being has certain indisputable rights that must be delivered in a way so that they have a positive effect on human lives enabling them to live better and more fulfilling lives.

The world is globalizing very rapidly and scientific innovations have emerged as a phenomenon for development.

Although the flow of information is increasing very rapidly, this change has affected a very small segment of the society.

Women in Pakistan are stricken with different type of violence and this been happening for a long period. Despite tall claims no healthy efforts are coming in to consideration.

The obvious reason is that the Pakistani women are unaware about their rights and which is why they are prone to violence every so often.

Despite the parliament had approved laws with regards to women’s protection, they are not in the know about them. Interestingly, out educated lot of the women are also not equipped with such information.

Pakistani women are also not aware with the rights, which our religion Islam has given to them, particularly a unique position of respect and honour.

Hence, those who use religion and misplaced conservatism to exploit women can only be countered if this awareness is spread.

In order to educate women about their rights that the constitution and the religion have granted them, the government must expand its role in this regard.

It should develop a plan of outreach to our women so they have awareness about their rights and responsibilities as well.

Another major obstacle in this way is lack of education, as a majority of exploited women live in rural areas are not equipped with education. In order to spread awareness about their rights, the government will have to work through a proper channel.

It is vital to mention here that that women in cities also prone to exploitation. Women both from the lower and upper class face many problems due to our rapidly changing urban landscape.

We will have to make our women more strong with a tendency to withstand different calamities by making them aware about their rights.

There are more chances that we can eliminate the violence from the society when our women will be educated.
