Have recent women's rights movements changed the generality of'menel'and stations towards gender? 

 

An uproar erupted last time when a bill to cover women from domestic violence was introduced in congress. 

Maulana Fazlur Rehman, head of the religious political party Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F), complained that if the law was passed, the family system in the country would collapse and"Western civilization"would flourish in its place. 

 PML-N National Assembly member Shaza Fatima Khawaja also entered a telephone call from her.

 party president Shahbaz Sharif in which she requested other members including Shaza Fatima to look into the matter as PML-N The pivotal coalition party, the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F), was opposed to the domestic violence bill. 

 Shaza Fatima told BBC Urdu. them I would not oppose the bill because it was the right thing to do in the first place. 

Secondly, it will not have a good political impact on our pickers, especially women pickers. 

Shahbaz Sharif also set up a commission to consult with the JUI-F, which included Shaza Fatima, Rana Sanaullah, Khawaja Asif, Ahsan Iqbal and others. 

Shaza Fatima said that there were some people in the commission who had made hateful statements against women in the history. 

Still, Shaza Fatima was surprised to see that virile members of her party He took a clear stage against it and said that this issue can't be ignored. 

Shaza Fatima recalled that in fact Rana Sanaullah was truly bold and strict with our abettors in this matter. 

 

For Shaza Fatima, the incident is a reflection of the small change she has noticed in the last numerous times that virile politicians now embrace in relation to women's issues. 

 Still, ridiculous reflections on women are still heard inside and outside Parliament, which are rarely acted upon. 

 Last time, Federal Minister for Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan Ali Amin Gandapur, while addressing an enthusiastic public meeting, floated to.

 poke and expose"PML-N leader Maryam Nawaz. This was not the first time that Gandapur Sahib had made such a statement about a womanish politician. Still, no corrective action was taken against him by the ruling PTI. 

This gender bias transcends political confederations. 

In 2019, senior PPP leader Khurshid Ahmad Shah satirized women MPs. He appealed to the Speaker National Assembly not to stop women members from talking when they are sitting next to each other. 

 Iman Zainab Mazari, a counsel from Islamabad, said that" indeed the Prime Minister is careless in choosing his words when talking to women."

 In an interview with Axis on HBO last time, Prime Minister Imran Khan linked cases of sexual violence in the country to women's vesture.

 Imran Khan said that if women wear short clothes, also obviously it will affect men if they are not robots, it's common sense. 

Iman Mazari said that As head of state, the choice of his words makes clear the priorities of his government. 

The fact is that the Prime Minister is truly careless in his choice of words or maybe he is using the office of the Prime Minister to express his archconservative thinking about women, this is where the problem starts. 

 Lawyer Iman Mazari added that the issue of women's equality or protection of women was not on the program for the PTI government. 

In October 2020, Iman Mazari and several women from various walks of life wrote an open letter calling on the government for a farther' comprehensive Pakistan'to train politicians, the bar and the bureaucracy on gender perceptivity and on sexual importunity and women. Strict policy should be espoused regarding annoying commentary. 

 Iman Mazari said the letter was transferred to nearly all government departments and services, including the Presidency.

"We have transferred this letter everyplace but we have not entered any reply from any place,"he said. 

 Real change or just tokenism? 

 

According to the World Bank, the participation of women in Pakistan's pool has been declining in the last numerous times. 

This rate was topmost in 2015, reaching23.86 percent, which fell to21.67 percent in 2019. 

This rate is lower than other countries in the region, including Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. 

Still, 48 of Pakistan's population is women. 

In addition, in the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Report 2021, Pakistan has been ranked 153rd out of 156 countries. 

The report also said that women in the country face difficulties in chancing work and indeed if they do get a job, they earn 34 lower than men. 

 There is a similar situation in politics where the number of women in the National Assembly is only 20 and this number has increased hardly in the last numerous times. There are only four women in the 32- member civil press. 

 Also, not a single woman in the history of Pakistan has held the post of Chief Justice of the Suprer 

Over the formerly numerous times, the media has concentrated on including women as news judges and talk show hosts in news channels, but Ayesha Bakhsh, a senior intelligencer, says that the number of women on screen is still truly low. 

Ayesha Bakhsh says that the media is changing but this change is like tar in flour. 

 All men are in positions of authority and decision- timber. 

 In addition, there are still cases of gender bias that women face in this field. 

Ayesha Bakhsh, who has been working in the field for over 16 times, was recently invited to a morning show and the host said that she was invited only because she had a" good smile". 

 Ayesha Bakhsh also said that men of Television channels claim that women are less on the screen because they do not get good conditions on Television like men. 

Ayesha Bakhsh asked,"How can it be that in a country where the proportion of women in the population is around 50, they do not want to know about their problems."
