Effects Of Gender Inequality In Pakistan

Society in Pakistan is one that is by tradition male-dominated. Men are the breadwinners for their family, they are the ones with jobs, and they have say in the government. Women, meanwhile, are limited to a domestic lifestyle in which they are the caretakers for children and rarely are seen alone in public. Because of these roles, the education of girls is much less of a concern, leading to many women going to school for little, if any, time.

Men and women have always been unequal, and it has always been an issue of women wanting to be equal, and men wanting to be superior. Maybe in other countries across the globe they are more equal, but in America they are not as equal and women want them to be. Women are portrayed as the ones that are supposed to stay home and take care of the kids and cook and clean the house all the time. Men are supposed to be the workers of the family and they are not supposed to be the ones that cook the meals or clean the home. The man is supposed to be the worker, the woman is supposed to be the housewife, and women are supposed to give birth to kids

Therefore, the men feel they have superiority over the women and the women were thought to be small-minded about critical issues.

Throughout history, men and women have been viewed in utterly different spheres. Men have been, and still are, believed to be the hard working individual who is in charge of “bringing home the bacon” and supporting the household finically. On the other hand, women are expected to have little to say, the house spotless, supper on the table, the children bathed, fed, in bed, and educated, all while maintaining a flawless hairdo and makeup. These stereotypes seem a bit offensive nowadays, but if you really consider it, it has been and most likely will be this way for our entire existence.

All throughout history, women have been thought of to be “weaker” and “not as capable” as men have always been thought to be. Due to this, gender roles were

Avoiding the Norm In our society men and women have not always been equal, and even today we still strive for equality. Traditional stereotypes for both genders have been around for decades. Traditionally men were the breadwinners, financially taking care of their families.

Many families only allow their daughters to attend all-girls schools close to their home and not many of these schools exist. Other families believe it is unnecessary for girls to be educated because the woman’s place is at home, not in the economy. “Life as an Afghan Woman” explains, “Schools for girls have been burned down, hundreds of teachers educating girls have been threatened or killed,...[and] physically harmed…. Only forty percent of Afghan girls attend elementary school, and only one out of twenty girls attend school beyond sixth grade.” Education has been presented to girls, but because of the lack of girls attending, this advancement of women’s education has not made as large of an impact as anticipated. Central Statistical Organization states “Based on the data of Statistical Yearbook 2014, the total numbers of civil servants of the government are 398,195 persons of which, 77.8 percent male and 22.2 percent are females.” Women have much less involvement in government and it is rooted from the lack of education received by the women as a young girl. A 2014 data analysis from the Central Statistical Organization shows in the “Zabul province in terms of girls’ enrolment in school is at the lowest level as girlboy ratio is 22/78.” Education equality has long suffered throughout Afghanistan due to the results of a patriarchal society, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t looking up in the

Throughout life every man and woman fits into a specific gender role. We are told what is expected of men and women from birth until death. Many people influence our view of how we should act and what we should say such as our parents, friends, and even the media. Males and females play very different roles and these differences are apparent in our every day lives. These differences are not the same as they used to be. Society has changed the way it treats men and women over time.

In many countries, women aren’t listened to or included in conversations regarding natural resource management and decision-making. In an article from CNN Money, it stated, “Almost half the world's economically active women work in agriculture.” Although these women work in agriculture and know more about the environment than certain men, their opinion is still left unheard. Some men could be destroying the environment and thinking they are protecting or helping it, but due to the gender gap women cannot tell them what is wrong or right because they won’t be listened to. The CNN Money article also mentions how women politicians “are more likely to set aside protected land areas and ratify international environmental treaties.” Women could have brilliant ideas on saving the environment, but the gender gap doesn’t give them the power to be acknowledged. Once the gender gap closes, there is a chance of having less air pollution, environmental degradation, forest depletion, etc. If we want to have a sustainable environment, we must close the gender gap so that women and men can both be equally recognized when it comes to decision-making and environmental management. Despite the fact that the gender gap doesn’t necessarily affect Canada as much as other countries, there is still a chance in the future that it could. Closing the gap would help minimize or prevent environmental

I think Eric Childs hit the nail on the head. If women were seen as equals in the beginning then this problem would not be as serious as it is now. There is always going to be negative views on gender. Some men simply feel that women are inferior which they are not. But if from the beginning things were done to change that mindset and women were given the rights that they deserved. Then the struggle that they would be going through today would not as much obstacles as it does

Women have always taken a back seat to men in American society. There has always seemed to be one set of standards that apply to men, and another set of standards that apply to women. This is evident in the home, workplace, and all throughout society.

For hundreds of years, women have never been given equality, from being able to vote, to how they are able to dress. Guys are always seen to be the stronger gender or more important gender so the girls are always the ones to get in trouble if they are to do something not expected or inappropriate in the male's eyes. Men are the ones who get women in trouble. Men are the ones who can't keep their hands and eyes to themselves in most cases. Men are the reason women are seen as unimportant. Women used to not be able to do certain jobs or have certain careers because it was described as being a male only position. For example, anything in the military was completely one hundred percent off limits for a women to do unless, it was the position of a nurse which still was a very hard job to get in the beginning and women were treated like crap when doing

Gender inequality plays a critical role when it comes to social progress. As a woman,

Currently people still see women as the ones who have to clean, cook and do the majority of housework and the men having to do all the heavy lifting, hard working jobs

Women have always been seen as a lower social class than males and are therefore identified as having limited privileges and rights compared to men.
