The Struggle Of Women In Pakistani Society


Due to cultural and historic attitudes that value male supremacy, women in Pakistan confront several obstacles. Even though equal rights are guaranteed by the constitution, women have not been able to enjoy the same freedoms and advantages as men. Women frequently experience discrimination in the workplace, in healthcare, and in school. They are also frequently treated as second-class citizens.

One of the most horrific types of violence against women in Pakistan is honor killing. Male family members frequently kill women because they purportedly bring shame to the household. Despite being against the law, such killings persist because they are firmly anchored in patriarchal attitudes. Due to social pressures and concerns for backlash, many women also experience domestic violence and abuse from their relationships. These incidents frequently go unreported.

When it comes to giving women equal rights and opportunities, Pakistan still has a long way to go. Women have come a long way in terms of education and employment, but they still face obstacles including gender-based pay inequalities and a lack of representation in leadership roles. Furthermore, because of societal taboos and traditional attitudes, women's health and reproductive rights are frequently disregarded.

In Pakistani society, patriarchy is established profoundly, and women are still forced to live in its shadow. Society's expectations of women as carers and homemakers deter many women from following their goals and objectives. In addition, women have limited mobility and frequently need male consent before making decisions or leaving the house. This reduces their chances for development and growth on a personal level.

Pakistan must put into practice laws that support women's rights and gender equality in order to overcome these issues. This entails granting access to healthcare and education, raising the proportion of women in positions of leadership, and upholding laws that defend women's rights. Pakistan can only create a more inclusive society where women may live without fear of discrimination or violence via sustained efforts.
