just watch our television shows.....the talk shows...news channels
women are taking huge part especially in media and journalism.
(including our dear patriotic daughter of the soil Jana)
actually, media is almost acting like the policeman in Pakistan now; whenever such gruesome incidents of crimes/violence against women takes place media is there to report it -- which puts pressure on govt. and police forces to take action
like i said --some ways we are backwards (we meaning us Pakistanis on the whole because we should take collective responsibility for what goes on even in the most rural areas)
but I say that in many ways --despite the bullshit this country is going through -- we are WAY ahead of many other countries in this region, in the Muslim world, and in the world in general --as far as respect and recognition of women's role is concerned
what we need to ensure is that the laws of the land are strictly enforced; women are integrated more into labour force (they are half the country!); and that the females know their rights as citizens, and know what to do if they ever encounter domestic or any type of violence against them
and this should apply across all the provinces, in every little district and corner; urban and rural.
not an easy task, but this requires a mentality change which will come about through more evenly spread higher quality education
the most ''advanced'' and progressive people in Pakistan are the farmers.....in fact it is the women who are doing most of the work in the fields; their input is invaluable to our country and without them -- we're lifeless.
love the farmers; love the women, especially my Pakistani women.
that includes you too Jana and Emo
