Girls Education In Pakistan Case Study

The education condition has been and is being negatively affected by religious discrimination, creating inequality to students. Although it is unseen and not talked about, religious discrimination is affecting many students’ lives in Universities. Kristin Aune, the senior research fellow in Peace and Social Relations at Coventry University wrote in her article, “How can universities tackle religious discrimination?” that “there is a religious

Pakistani culture consists of many different ethnic groups, languages, gender roles, and religions. “It is the world's sixth most populous country, has an estimated population of 176 million. The annual population growth of 2.1% resulted in the population quadrupling in the past 50 years with 41% below age 15” (Marvi & Howard, 2013). The different ethnic groups that Pakistani culture consists of are, Punjabi which is the largest ethnic group, Pashtun, Sindhi, and smaller groups, Pakistan (2017). Due to the diversity in Pakistan, there are many languages spoken in Pakistani culture. English language is primarily taught in the schools.

Adults not only in Afghanistan but in countries around the world often dictate all aspects of the child’s life until they become adults themselves; thus, the children’s desires are frequently disregarded and neglected. However, as trivial as their wishes may seem, decisions made by the adult can directly impact the child’s life forever. Therefore, one, especially a foreigner who is not accustomed to their radical principles, must wonder if bacha posh, daughters chosen by their families to live and behave as a boy, enjoy their borrowed status. The palpable answer would be of course, why wouldn’t they cherish their conversion to boyhood. However, “it all depends

History has taught us, strong men rise against religious fanaticism and oppression, and occasionally we hear about few women taking charge for their beliefs. When we heard the news of a very young voice thundering across the world, crying out for attention for their rights of education, a new chapter in history was made. Amazingly, this is from a region known for religious fanaticism, persecutions and ostracizing for mundane women’s rights. This young girl spoke out for her right to education and go to school without persecution. Her name is Malala.

All women should have the right to education in the Middle East. More than 30 million girls are out of primary-school age are out of school today(Fund). These uneducated girls need our help! The Islamic community in the Middle East developed habits very early. Up until 750 CE, the leading Muslims hired tutors or owned slaves to teach their sons. Their sons were taught the basics of religion, to read and write, to use the bow and arrow, to swim, and everyday morals and manners (Morrison). Their daughters were to learn skills involving the household and the basics of religion. Sometimes, they would get the opportunity to learn music, dance, and poetry, as well. Children in rural areas mostly learned how to work the land for their families and

Before the independent colonization of India, the roots of tradition were so thick that being anything other than what was expected from your gender, class, and education level, was odd. Scary, even. In a time and place where women aren’t considered useful for much other than birthing children and feeding said children, Rukmani, a child bride with a good education, a strong will, and a modernized mentality, is struggling to find happiness in a world where she is being thrown curveball after curveball. In this tale of odd in an even world, Kamala Markandaya writes to show how breaking from cultural norms can create a better life for Rukmani and her family.

“How dare the Taliban take away my basic right to education ?” (Malala Yousafzai) Currently in Pakistan the Taliban is trying to prevent young girls and woman from receiving an education or getting jobs.

["I have the right of education. I have the right to play. I have the right to sing. I have the right to talk. I have the right to go to [the] market. I have the right to speak up." (Fantz). ] Malala Yousafzai is the now seventeen year old girl from Pakistan who shared these inspiring words in a 2011 interview with CNN. Yousafzai has become a global symbol for women’s rights and she recently gave a speech about the global issue of women’s education at a United Nations meeting. In this meeting, it was brought to the world’s attention that two thirds of the world’s illiterate adults are women (Gender). Malala is from Pakistan where most women are not educated; similarly, Morocco and Bolivia also violate a woman’s right to an education. Although strides have been made in the attempt to better women’s education, this problem remains a global issue today, since countries’ cultural, religious and practical needs inhibit a woman’s right to an education.

The history of civilization has been the history of women oppression and her marginalization. All religions produced by the patriarchal societies have been the most effective instruments of male chauvinism. This subservience of women from the primitive times and the consequent differentiation made between the two sexes according to their gender identity is evident in the Indian society too. In Indian society, a woman’s role has been compartmentalized as a daughter, a wife and a mother. She has never been acknowledged as an individual outside these pre-destined roles. Over the decades, however, the position of Indian woman

The solid status that has been raised by the general public itself which alludes the women as subordinate to men as well as a reliant on them for their extreme survival. This circumstance still perseveres.
