15.  Empowerment of women, also called gender
empowerment, has become a significant
topic of discussion in regards to development
and economics.
 Entire nations, businesses, communities, and
groups can benefit from the implementation
of programs and policies that adopt the
notion of women empowerment.

16.  Empowerment is one of the main procedural
concerns when addressing human
rights and development.
 The Human Development and Capabilities
Approach, The Millennium Development
Goals, and other credible approaches/goals
point to empowerment and participation as a
necessary step if a country is to overcome
the obstacles associated with poverty and
development.

17.  Gender empowerment can be measured
through the Gender Empowerment
Measure, or the GEM. The GEM shows
women’s participation in a given nation, both
politically and economically.
 Gem is calculated by tracking “the share of
seats in parliament held by women; of
female legislators, senior officials and
managers; and of female profession and
technical workers; and the gender
disparity in earned income, reflecting
economic independence.”

18.  Most women across the globe rely on
the informal work sector for an income.
 If women were empowered to do more and
be more, the possibility for economic
growth becomes apparent.

work force on the sole basis of gender can
have detrimental effects on the economy of
that nation.

groups, and businesses is seen to increase
efficiency.

inclusion of women in the formal workforce
(like a fortune 500 company) can increase
the economic output of a nation.

28.  West always raise fingers on suppressed
women rights in Pakistan but before
discussing whether women have the rights or
not in Pakistan we should first understand
that what actually the rights of women are.

29.  The term women right refers to freedoms
and entitlements of women and girls of all
ages. These rights may or may not be
institutionalized…
 Pakistan is an Islamic society in which most
of the practices are according to Islamic
teaching and Islam has given equal rights to
both men and women, whether it’s property
or society in the eyes of Islam all humans are
equal.

30.  Islam has given equal right to women in
getting education and the most important
right that Islam has given to women is that
the women cannot get married without
asking her will and consent.

31.  Unfortunately in Pakistani society where we
call ourselves Muslims but we are the one
who are far away from Islamic teaching.
 Orally we all can say that we are Muslim but
practically we are living our lives without
practicing Islamic teaching.

32.  "No nation can rise to the height of glory
unless your women are side by side with you;
we are victims of evil customs. It is a crime
against humanity that our women are shut up
within the four walls of the houses as
prisoners. There is no sanction anywhere for
the deplorable condition in which our women
have to live."
Mohammad Ali Jinnah, 1944.

33.  Gender relations in Pakistan rest on two
basic perceptions:
 that women are subordinate to men,
 , and that a man's honor resides in the
actions of the women of his family.

34.  Thus, as in other orthodox Muslim
societies, women are responsible for
maintaining the family honor.
 To ensure that they do not dishonor their
families, society limits women's
mobility, places restrictions on their behavior
and activities, and permits them only limited
contact with the opposite sex.

35.  When a family becomes more prosperous and
begins to aspire to higher status, it
commonly requires stricter purdah among its
women as a first social change.

36.  Four important challenges confronted women
in Pakistan in the early 1990s:
 increasing practical literacy, gaining access
to employment opportunities at all levels in
the economy, promoting change in the
perception of women's roles and status, and
gaining a public voice both within and
outside of the political process.

37.  There have been various attempts at social
and legal reform aimed at improving Muslim
women's lives in the subcontinent during the
twentieth century.
 These attempts generally have been related
to two broader, intertwined movements: the
social reform movement in British India and
the growing Muslim nationalist movement.

38.  "Education is one of the most important
means of empowering women with the
knowledge, skills and self-confidence
necessary to participate fully in the
development process."
 —ICPD Program me of Action, paragraph 4.2

39.  Education is important for everyone, but it is
especially significant for girls and women.
 This is true not only because education is an
entry point to other opportunities, but also
because the educational achievements of
women can have ripple effects within the
family and across generations.

40.  Investing in girls' education is one of the
most effective ways to reduce poverty.
Investments in secondary school education
for girls yields especially high dividends.

41.  The education of parents is linked to their
children's educational attainment, and the
mother's education is usually more influential
than the father's.
 An educated mother's greater influence in
household negotiations may allow her to
secure more resources for her children.

42.  Educated mothers are more likely to be in
the lab our force, allowing them to pay some
of the costs of schooling, and may be more
aware of returns to schooling.
 And educated mothers, averaging fewer
children, can concentrate more attention on
each child.

63.  1. One way to deploy the empowerment of
women is through land rights.
 2. Land rights offer a key way to
economically empower women, giving them
the confidence they need to tackle gender
inequalities.
 3. Often, women in developing nations are
legally restricted from their land on the sole
basis of gender.

64.  4. Having a right to their land gives women a
sort of bargaining power that they wouldn’t
normally have, in turn; they gain the ability
to assert themselves in various aspects of
their life, both in and outside of the home.
 5. Another way to provide women
empowerment is to allocate responsibilities
to them that normally belong to men.

65.  6. When women have economic
empowerment, it is a way for others to see
them as equal members of society. Through
this, they achieve more self-respect and
confidence by their contributions to their
communities.
 7. Political participation, be it the ability to
vote and voice opinions, or the ability to run
for office with a fair chance of being
elected, plays a huge role in the
empowerment of peoples.

the realm of politics. It can include
participation in the household, in
schools, and the ability to make choices for
one self.
