Avoid use of "Netspeak" or other "cute" grammar or spelling (For example: writing "R U a woman?" instead of "Are You a woman?"). Read [URL="http://www.cssforum.com.pk/general/forum-policies-rules-regulations/4443-forum-rules-policies.html"]forum rules [/URL]carefully and abide by them.

Dear a commendable effort I must say. Since you requested for inputs regarding the arrangement and flow, here are a few suggestions for further refinement.

Women Empowerment

Question #1: Do we say Islam or anything remotely related to Islam in the title? I believe not. Why did you start your essay with Islam and condition before Islam? Although for us, the world may not have existed before the advent of Islam in the Arabian Peninsula some 1400+ years back, but for the rest of the globe it surely did. Secondly, Women did exist for a fact :)

Coming to the point, Whenever one attempts an Essay, the Introduction is the Punch line. By punch line, it means that the following points should exist in an ideal Introduction.

(1) A brief/one-liner introduction of the most important word in the Title- Women Empowerment
(2) The historical reference
(3) The present condition
(4) Most importantly, why you want to write about the topic and what conclusion you intend to draw at the end of the day

You are basically facilitating the checker- he knows what you mean by empowerment- he appreciates that you know both the present day situation and its historical context- above all he gets the honor of having a glimpse of your conclusion without going through your entire essay- According to Ashfaq Ahmad (Late) "Auroon k leyay Asaanian Paida kero, Allah Apkay leyay Asaani paida karay ga"

I hope I am making sense.

Your Essay is more like- "Women Empowerment in Islam" Or "Women Empowerment in Islam and its manifestation in Pakistan" :)

As a tip- We, Pakistani students that is, can't think or write beyond Islam or Pakistan. Our imagination lasts only these two entities. Unless the topic demands, inserting un-necessary information about either of them is harmful for the eventual result

A much more rational approach would be:

(1) Introduction- Empowerment, Historical Context, Present Situation across the globe- Why am I writing about this topic (this is THE most misunderstood topic, I want to analyze and present the topic with a different approach etc) What is my conclusion- Is it achievable? Is it worth it? Does it benefit us? (Anything of your choice)

(2) Introduction to the term Empowerment- What does the Word mean; How is it related to Women Empowerment- Its Historical Context- How it was coined and all?

(3) How is it measured across the globe? UN Empowerment Indices - Identify a few important ones

(4) What is the present World situation regarding Women Empowerment [From Asia to Africa, From Scandanavia to Muslim Countires]- Are there differences? [Of course there is a difference- A woman in Afghanistan is worse off than her fellow sister in Finland for example]

(5) Why are there such diverging trends? Lack of Education, Exploitation of Religion/Gender/Customs, Lack of Awareness

(6) What could be done to improve the lot of Women/Empower them- Examples over here: Quote Islam/Hazrat Muhammad SAW, Quote Pakistan's efforts/legislations etc

(7) Why is it important to Empower Women- What Islam Says about it? What Science says about it? Are there any success stories across the nations' history- Quote that 50% of the population sitting idle at home contributes nothing to the economy etc.

(8) Conclusion- Should we be hopeful? Can it ever be achieved? What would be the benefits of achieving them


That's all...

P.S: Open to further queries/debates/corrections :)

Ahhh..When i read your outline, I had made up my mind to reply and point out few flaws (flaws=flaws in my view point :) ), but by the time i read the first few lines of umarabbas, i could see that my points were printed in his reply.

All is well written except the inclusion of Islam and Pakistan -- Still if you want, you can put Pakistan somewhere in the end but not in the initial or middle section unless you compare women empowerment in different countries.You can trick the examiner by introducing ISALM in a stealthy way and that is, if you write something about women empowerment since the start of life on earth.. but you have to pay a price here if you dont know about that.

Your outline goes well for the essays pointed out by Umarabbas and i would add one more ..Women Empowerment in Pakistan on the principles of Islam :)
