why there is no status of third gender in pakistan?

exposition;started with a funny dialogue between two friends ridiculing eunuchs,then shortly described the causes of low status of third gender in pakistan)
identity crisis of third gender
rigidity of pakistani society(have no tolerance to accept things that are different)
role of eunuchs in mughal period as khawaja saras
lack of education
no economic security for third gender( even islam does not give them right from their parent's property)
source of ridicule
source of entertainment(singing,dancing)
role of media(eunuchs are always presented on tv as a source of laughter,i discussed program hasb e haal where azizi mimics eunuchs
inferiority complex of eunuchs is a cause of their low status(in order to look like females , eunuchs wear embellishing clothes n make up,thus adding up to their low status in society )
role of eunuchs as prostitutes n beggars
in pakistan second gender has not achieved its rightful status then status of third gender is a distant dream
suggestions;society should b tolerant,government should provide jobs etc
conclusion;a change in the attitude of govt,society n eunuchs themselves is needed to bring about a change in the role of third gender in pakistan

this is all what i remember now....if u want to comment then u r most welcome......btw this is my first post here

Both of us share the essay although my essay outline or in other words my essay centered around a different aspect of this topic:

my out line was:

what is equality?
what is equality of gender?
historical perspective of this discussion (i meant since quite a lot of time it is a hot debate throughout the world)

two different approaches about the equality of gender in Pakistan

1- Islamic Perspective (Islamic rights and privileges and the claims of the people who support this ideology)
2- Western Perspective (the western ideology of equality of gender, historical perspective, and their applicability in PAkistan)
3- Differences between the two and where do we fail (in understanding the equality of gender)

Agents in a society that ensure the protection of women

1- Constitution (its apparent failure till now)
2- Religion (although rights are there, but not given in the truest sense)
3- Education (domestic violence in educated families, discrimination between girls and boys even in educated fields)
4- Society (the most important agent, without society's consent nothing can ensure that women are given their basic rights)

Present Plight of the women in Pakistan: Attrocities, education level, karo kari, premature marriages, forced marriages, marital rape, domestic violence, sexual harassment etc.
Why is not the condition improving for women (or why is the pace slow) (Vadera and Chaudry system, the same vadera who issues karo kari order sits in the parliament enacting laws for their protection, role of women in attrocities against their same sex, the society not prepared for the change at the moment)

Recent steps taken for the betterment of the women position
1- Constitutional reforms
2- Better health and educational facilities
3- Jobs Quota in different walks of life

Brighter side of Women'sCondition
1- First Lady Prime Minister in the Muslim World.
2- Ladies at very important position.
3- Element of respect for women in the society in general.


Conclusion (Yes, they can be equal although the process is a bit slow for the liking of many people)


As they had explicity asked about "whether women can be equal to men in Pakistan" therefore i did not mention the rest of the world...i also ignored the economical merits of women's involvement in the practical field....

THE UNO HAS FAILED TO MEASURE UP TO THE DEMANDS OF ITS CHARTER

1)The United Nations was established in the wake of Second World War to promote peace and ensure amicable settlement of disputes.

2) The UN has failed to fulfill the goals enshrined included in its charter.

3) Political disputes remain unresolved and all efforts to seek solution have failed.

4) The obvious examples are Kashmir and Palestine dispute.

5) The UN has failed to ensure the territorial integrity of sovereign states- Iraq war and Gaza offensive.

6) The UN has failed in the field of disarmament and to implement its nuclear non-proliferation policy.

7) The US interference in internal affairs of other countries continues.

8) In socio-economic affairs, the efforts of the UN have achieved limited success because of its financial dependence on major powers.

9) The lot of the poor women and children in underdeveloped countries has not improved.

10) The UN has not been able to solve the problems of refugees and stateless persons.

11) These failures of the UN are because of the following factors:

a) Lopsided character of the UNSC

b) Lack of international executive machinery

c) Optional jurisdiction of ICJ- the judicial organ of teh UN.

d) Veto authority of big powers

12) In a nutshell, the goals of the charter remain unfulfilled.
