Gender Inequality In Education In Pakistan

A Republican Mother is an educated mother who had a great impact on all of the upcoming generations. Without this idea of a Republican mother, women would not have the rights they do today. If women did not speak up this idea never would have came around to drastically change life forever for them. The republican mother sets the example on how women are supposed to act, while setting the base for women to grow on.

Gegory’s about women conducts intended for his daughter is a significant prove that men were the reason for women lacking education and reasoning power(Wollstonecraft, 1792). The other factor affecting the right to education for woman is religion. The threat of violence against women is still rampant in many parts of Pakistan and Afghanistan where women and girls are denied to access of education and face threats of violence if they defy orders to stay home ( Smith,K ). Because those people who thinks that educating a women is against the religion or “Islam”. According to Smith, in his article Shafia and her husband send their daughter to school in a small village in southeast Afghanistan, despite the threat from conservative community members who don’t believe girls need education. The members of a local militant group killed shafia’s husband for letting their daughter to school( Smith, K). This kind of religion notion which affects the education of girl or woman.

Women in England during the 1800s faced restrictions to participate in movements and were limited in their political speaking and voting capabilities. Although many women accepted their fate, some fought for a different social role. (“The Women 's Rights Movement”) Women such Mary Wollstonecraft, Jane Austen, and Mary Shelley inspired a new way of radical thinking towards human rights, specifically the rights of women (Surgis). Thanks to these inspiring individuals, there was a change in women’s attitude regarding their options to become part of the work force, gain an education, and have equal rights in marriage (Surgis). Educating women was the primary focus for many modern feminists, explaining that if women were educated the opportunities

Equality of genders is a basic human right that all should posses. However, in the novel A Thousand Splendid Suns, by Khaled Hosseini, the reader explores Afghanistan’s true nature of extreme gender inequality towards women and how it affects all the characters within the novel. The novel explores how within a marriage, women have unequal rights, undergo major amounts of physical abuse, and are emotionally and mentally tormented by their very own supposedly beloved husbands.

A case study done in India to analyze and discuss solutions for a lack in women's participation in India showed that many women do not pursue an education due to the negative cultural and social attitudes that surround educated women. It also attributes this to gender stereotyping within the classroom which discourages women from continuing with education in order to avoid the unequal treatment they receive. Society's emphasis on an early marriage also plays a major role in this as they do not want to stray from the cultural norm of marriage without an education (Singh 2018). This journal article simply emphasizes the culture’s distaste for women in education and how societal expectations make it a challenge for women to get an education. Another study was done in India that looked at the causes of gender inequality within the country attributes this mentality of the superiority of men stems directly from the lack of education amongst women. The article gives two explanations as to why women do not participate in the labor market as much as men do which is due to: “The first explanation attributes the gap to labor market discrimination: if employers value women’s education less than that of men’s education, then economic incentives to educate girls are lower (Kingdon 1998). The second explanation relates to kinship norms in India, which often dictate that a daughter will leave the household after marriage” (Rammohan and Patrick 2018:143). Both journal articles simply emphasize the culture’s distaste for women in education and how societal expectations make it a challenge for women to get an education. The negative connotation about women being educated rather than focusing on marriage has caused many to grow up believing that education was unimportant and that

50% of the world’s population include women, however, women continue to be underrepresented as citizens, leaders and elected officials. Despite economic prosperity and political stability as a first world country, Canada’s underrepresentation of women in politics is less than in many underdeveloped countries and thus, brings forth inequality in society as well.

According to Kornberg, stalwarts perform ‘memory, intelligence and communications functions on behalf of their local organisations and its candidates for elected offices.’ MacDonald 's political ambition and progression can best be understood as a party insider and elite.

I have been in an empowering relationship for a little more than three years now. Before I embarked on this relationship, I have been in ones similar, but none even half as influential as my current relationship with my high school, Sacred Heart Academy. While Sacred Heart has, without a doubt, helped me know myself better academically, it has truly facilitated in knowing my own potential as a woman.

We are surrounded in a community where everyone is encountered by disparities of many types; for example, gender, cultural, religious, socio-economic, plus opinion. All these disparities create the main structure of our society, where one society is distinguished from another because of these disparities. These disparities amid people create our society both active and inactive. Out of all the disparities, gender inequality is still seen in less-developed countries like Syria, Pakistan, Yemen and many more; with Pakistan ranked 141 out of 142, second to last in global gender inequality according to the annual Gender Gap Index by the Geneva-based World Economic Forum. Pakistani women nevertheless face the world’s worst inequality in access to participation in political agencies, education and the imposition of social rules.

From an American standpoint, there seems to be no issue in terms of a gender gap between girls and boys when it comes to schooling. For many years, young girls in the United States have been ensured an education that is just as effective and encompassing as that of young boys. In fact, it seems like the American school system may be now benefitting girls more than it does boys. However, this is not the case with all countries in the world. While the gender gap in education has been closed in many countries, including the United States, there still exist some places in the world where the state of education and literacy levels for girls and women is still desolate; this gap prevents young women from receiving the proven benefits

Equality among people justifies the development of human civilization. The history witnesses how people mistreated the others and how other people fought for freedom. It proves a permanent truth that the more civilized the people are, the less inequality would be promoted. However, there was no one period in the past, even now, without inequality completely. The slavery issue in the West and the gender inequality in the East both brought unimaginable damage for not only the groups of people who were mistreated, but also the society which is supposed to be peaceful, fair and justice. In the modern century, for most countries around world it seemed that gender inequality is cruel and unreasonable, but countries in mid-Asia are exceptions. According to the report from The Global Gender Gap in 2015, Yemen and Pakistan ranked bottom of the list of gender gap which means the distances in economic and politic between men and women in those two areas was the furthest (International Rankings). Similar levels appear on the other mid-Asian countries too. The world citizens held different viewpoints. Some believed gender inequality benefits people and some protests it, so what exactly is correct way to value and evaluate gender inequality? In other words, should male and female be treated in the same way?

In third world countries, girls are fighting their families, communities, and countries in order to go to school. Governments need to support these young women and fulfill their dreams. Not only will it empower women, but it will positively impact each family, community, and country. Firstly, the only way to decrease the educational gap between males and females is to implement policies that decrease or completely remove school fees for girls and prohibit families from removing their daughters from school before the age of 18. As a result, these nations will achieve gender equality as both females and males will be equally qualified for jobs. Furthermore, the economy will improve which will not only be beneficial for small communities and households, but the country as a whole. Lastly, if girls are guaranteed an education, child marriage and child mortality rates will substantially decrease. Governments need to implement policies that guarantee girls education in order to promote gender equality, boost their economy, and prevent child

It is important to link gender equality and sustainable development for a number of reasons. How can we achieve a sustainable future, and reach our development goals if half of the world’s population has their rights, capabilities and dignity ignored? Women’s knowledge should be used to help achieve these goals, they should be viewed as central actors, not victims. Furthermore, to be effective, policy actions for sustainability must redress the disproportionate impact on women and girls of economic, social and environmental shocks and stresses. The lives of girls and women have changed dramatically over the past quarter century. There has been progress, today, more girls and women are literate than ever before, and in a third of developing countries, there are more girls in school than boys. Women now make up over 40 percent of the global labour force. In some areas, however, progress toward gender equality has been limited—even in developed countries. Girls and women who are poor, live in remote areas, are disabled, or belong to minority groups continue to lag behind. Too many girls and women are still dying in childhood and in the reproductive ages. Women still fall behind in earnings and productivity, and in the strength of their voices in society. In some areas, such as education, there is now a gender gap to the disadvantage of men and boys. Gender inequality is seen at the very highest level, with women underrepresented in government decision making positions. Women

This essay will discuss how gender inequality in education affects economic growth of a country. Gender inequality can be defined as unequal treatment and opportunities based on gender. The gender inequality in education is one of the most serious global issues that affect economic growth. There are studies revealing that only 39% of countries provide both genders with equal access to education. This shows that there are countries where women and men are not treated equally.

In India, discriminatory attitude towards men and women have existed for generations and thus it affect the lives of both genders. Although the constitution of India has granted men and women equal rights, but gender gap still remains. Female discrimination violates human rights. These are mostly seen in family land sharing among sisters and brothers. Women are perceived to be disadvantaged at work. Indian laws on Rape, Dowry and Adultery have women 's safety at heart, but these highly discriminatory practices are still taking place at an alarming rate. Gender discrimination in India refers to health, education, economic and political inequalities between men and women. Gender inequalities, and its social causes, impact India 's sex ratio, women 's health over their lifetimes, their educational attainment, and economic conditions. Gender inequality in India is a various issue that concerns
