Conclusion[/QUOTE]
Bro!i attempt the same essay but with a different perspective.
that women are not subjected to the same indiscrimination as they are in the west,so this ideology and movement is absent in the third word.
so whats your opinion on it

if you elaborated this point in your introduction as thesis statement and pursued it in the antithesis, and used the synthesized approach, examiner would be ok then.
the reason that i attempted the essay as being presented in the essay outline was that i had picked the gender studies as my optional subject. therefore, we had percceived essay in different ways.

However. i think that this movement can be found in third world like Pakistan etc. as the presence and ideologies of People like Asma Jahangir and Farzana Bari etc. suggests

Did u appear in these exams?

yes!
This is my outline from 2017 attempt

Umm, I'm kind of confused with what fawadhash said. Can you please explain a bit? You said that Feminism is a third world issue, and went against the topic. But the topic didn't say that feminism isn't a third world issue. The topic says that feminism is not just an issue of the third world, it also exists in developed countries. So please elaborate.

Where in the topic has it been said that "feminism is not JUST third world issue? The topic is "feminism is not really a third world issue". Feminism originated in first world and is a hot issue there anyways so I didn't see any reason to justify that issue somewhat concerns first world more than third world. Not saying that other interpretation are wrong , but I feel my interpretation is correct according to my understanding.

Ah and since the topic was "feminism is not really a third world issue" my argument might be summarised in the form of the opposite title "feminism is really a third world issue":) Saying that feminism is really a third world issue doesn't really compromise it's importance as an issue for first world or does it? However, according to me the topic stated that feminism is not really an issue that is given any worth, or is considered important by the third world,. So, my essay didn't involve any justification for its importance for 1st world.

Oh okay. I got your point. I took it as 'feminism exists in third world, but it ALSO exists in the developed countries' and then we justify that yes it does exist in developed countries, and how. Since the writer is already saying that it's a third world issue, the 'third world countries' part doesn't need to be justified. But justifications need to be given as to how this issue exists in the developed countries.

[B]Feminism is not just a third-world issue
[/B]

Terminologies are socially constructed. The binary division of the world between first-world and third-world is primarily a reflection of colonial discourses. And such discourses and terminologies have given birth to the narrative that feminism is primarily a third world issue. But reality is quite the opposite. If feminism was born in the “first world”, it does not mean that the first-world is free from gender-based issues. These issues; such as gender-based inequalities and discrimination are not exclusive to the third-world, they are a global problem. Feminism and women’s rights are global issues.

It is generally believed that only the women of the third world are discriminated against in social, political and economic contexts. But women in the first-world are also susceptible to these problems. If third-world countries have a fewer women at high posts, the case is the same in the first-world. It is the same for other gender based issues such as sexual harassment and representation in politics. So, when we say that feminism is only a third world issue, we are completely ignoring the gender discriminations in different spheres faced by the women of the first world.

Women all over the world are hindered in their aspirations by a strong glass ceiling. Why it is so that the US has never had a female President? A democracy that is much stronger to the extent of providing leadership to the whole world has never elected a woman as their President. It shows that the society generally believes that men are better able to lead than women. And if we analyse election debates between both 2016 US presidential candidates – Hillary and Trump, we see that gender was an often touched topic. So much so that to damage Trump’s appeal, the democrats used Melania, Trump’s wife. Her old pictures, when she was in fashion industry, were shared online to discredit Trump. In contrast, third-world countries have elected women as their premiers many times. Pakistan has elected Benazir Bhutto twice as the Chief Executive of the country. In India, Indira Gandhi has been a successful Prime Minister. In Myanmar, the struggle of Aung Sang SuuKyi has been recognized by its citizens who elected her party in the last elections. In Rwanda, the ratio of women holding parliamentary offices has been improving. These facts show that feminism is very much, a global issue.

Even if we observe the ratio of women holding top positions in big corporations, we see that men are present in disproportionately higher numbers. Name any top company of the first world and we see the men hold all the executive slots. It is true that some big corporations are headed by the women, but that is also true for the third-world. There are many examples of women holding top positions in developing countries such as Nita Ambani, Arundhati Bhattacharya and Chiyono Terada.

Historically, what is now considered the third world has been more receptive to women in positions of authority. The Subcontinent has seen Razia Sultana, a queen of the Delhi Sultanate who ruled for more than 3 years. Then, this region experienced the successful reign of NurJehan, wife of Jehangir. She ruled as de-facto head of the Mughal Empire. If this part of the world had accepted women as their leaders back then, it has no reason to not accept women as their leaders today. Gender-based issues are as present in the first-world as they are in the third-world. In some cases, there are more gender discrimination in the first-world than the third-world.

can anyone share solved questions of current affairs or pakistan affairs?
