RECOMMENDATIONS FOR WOMEN EMPOWERMENT (Always try to write much more points in the form of sub-headings so that your view point becomes clear to the examiner and at the same time it will provide you easiness to write.

CONCLUSION


INTRODUCTION

The status of women in Pakistan varies according to regions, social classes and rural /urban divide. Women in urban areas enjoy better status than the women of rural areas. The plight of women in the tribal areas and in the regions dominated by feudal landlords is very miserable. Women are subjected to honor killing, karokari and Vani (exchanging females as a compensation for a murder) particularly in tribal areas.
Although education has created awareness in people but still it is considered that women are inferior to men. The general view in Pakistan is that men and women have different roles in two different spheres of life(They both have different roles indeed. But to make this as a reason to discriminate and persecute woman is not only unjustifiable but also against all ethical, legal and religious codes.). According to this difference of roles men has to look after the affairs of political and economic aspects of life while women are supposed to confine themselves in the household tasks.
Another extremist view is that Islam places women at a lower position to men.All such views are result of illiteracy and misconception about Islam.
Education and teaching of Islamic values in true sense is the remedy for depressed condition of women in Pakistan..
